WHO chief questions world while declaring humanitarian condition in Gaza as inhumane

The World Health Organization's (WHO) Director-General, Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, stated that the humanitarian and health conditions in Gaza are terrible and are getting worse.  

"What type of world do we live in when people cannot get food and water, or when people who cannot even walk are not able to receive care?" Ghebreyesus posed the question in a statement released on Wednesday.  

"What kind of world are we living in when medical facilities have to close due to a lack of power or medication to save lives? And military force is being used against them?  

He further pointed out that “Gaza has become a death zone, where much of the territory has been destroyed, more than 29,000 people are dead, many more are missing or presumed dead and many, many more are injured.” 

The UN official concluded by saying: “We need a ceasefire now! We need hostages to be released, we need the bombs to stop dropping, and we need unfettered humanitarian access.” 

Meanwhile, according to independent Senator Bernie Sanders, the US cannot help but support Israel's "horrific" war against the Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip on Wednesday.  

The entire globe is observing. The children in Gaza are starving. In a video message posted to his X social media account, Sanders stated, "We cannot be complicit in this atrocity." 

"Words cannot express how horrifying the current situation is or could get," he continued.  

Sanders claimed that only a very smallportion of the food, water, medicine, and gasoline that are "desperately" required can reach Gaza due to Israeli airstrikes and restrictions on aid entering the region.  

Thousands of children are malnutritionaland without access to clean drinking water today. According to the UN, the entire population of Gaza is at imminent risk of famine and some 378,000 people are starving right now,” he added. 

Stressing that many facilities have been damaged in airstrikes and many health care workers trying to keep children alive have been killed, Sanders said the facilities that are operational today lack the basic medical supplies that “heroic” doctors and nurses need to save lives and treat their patients.
