World Health Organization chief Dr Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus warned that Gaza faces a “catastrophic” health crisis that will last for generations. He said famine, injuries, disease, and damaged hospitals have created a “fatal combination.” Speaking to BBC Radio 4, he urged Israel to allow more aid and to stop linking it to the conflict. Only 200–300 aid trucks enter Gaza daily, far below the needed 600. Dr Tedros said aid should not be “weaponised” and that Gaza’s health system needs urgent rebuilding. He called the current ceasefire fragile but said peace remains “the best medicine.” (PC: BBC)
