After reporting atrocities occurring in the Gaza Strip, ranging from “leaving people without food” or that medical personnel risk being bombed for their work, Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, Director General of the World Health Organization (WHO), to the question “what world do we live in?”
“What kind of world do we live in when people can’t get food or water, when they can’t walk or seek medical help.
“What kind of world do we live in when healthcare workers risk being bombed while saving lives, or when hospitals close because they lack electricity and medicine or because they become military targets?”
He denounced that the UN food aid agency has no access to northern Gaza and that since Israeli attacks on Gaza began on October 7, the rate of severe malnutrition has increased from 1% to more than 15% and that the situation will worsen as violence continues and access to humanitarian aid is cut off.
WHO General Counsel Steve Salomon explained that there is no justification under international humanitarian law for attacks on infrastructure or medical personnel, even if some of them may have been used for military purposes, as stated. Israel is trying to make excuses.
He explained that even when a medical facility is used for military purposes:
Disproportional attacks are strictly prohibited. All combatants must understand that health centers and their personnel operate beyond what is permitted by law.
He clarified that both attacks and militarization of medical institutions are strictly prohibited. (EFE)
