Gaza health crisis will last for 'generations', WHO chief warns

The head of the World Health Organization has warned that the health crisis in Gaza will have consequences lasting for generations, citing famine, widespread injuries, a collapsed healthcare system, and outbreaks of disease. Despite a recently brokered ceasefire and promises of increased aid, the actual delivery of supplies has fallen short of expectations, with only a fraction of the necessary food and resources reaching those in need. Humanitarian officials stress that while some progress has been made in addressing starvation, the scale of aid remains inadequate. Calls have been made for Israeli authorities to allow more aid into Gaza without linking it to the broader conflict, as the population continues to face severe shortages and long-term health challenges.
