The World Health Organization has called for a "constant and uninterrupted flow of supplies" into Gaza, warning that the health needs of the territory's population remain severe a year into the ceasefire.
The WHO chief said the health needs of nearly 2 million people in Gaza remain "overwhelming," underscoring the scale of the humanitarian and medical challenges still facing the territory.
The call for steady humanitarian access points to ongoing concerns about the ability of aid, medical supplies and equipment to reach hospitals and clinics serving Gaza's population without interruption.
Health systems in Gaza have faced severe strain amid the prolonged conflict, with shortages of medical supplies, damaged infrastructure and high patient loads repeatedly cited by international health officials and aid organizations.
The WHO's renewed appeal reflects continued international attention on the humanitarian situation in Gaza, even as a ceasefire has been in place for a year, with officials stressing that significant needs persist on the ground.
