A representative of the World Health Organization in Palestine has warned that delays in the entry of humanitarian aid into Gaza could lead to "devastating consequences" for the population there.
The WHO official called on Israeli authorities to relieve pressure on the entry of medical supplies into the territory, citing the ongoing impact of restricted access on the availability of essential healthcare resources.
The warning adds to repeated appeals from international health and humanitarian organizations regarding the flow of aid into Gaza, where access constraints have been a recurring point of concern throughout the conflict.
Medical supplies, including essential medicines and equipment, are among the items that aid organizations say are needed to support healthcare services for residents of Gaza amid ongoing humanitarian needs.
The WHO has not detailed the specific quantities or categories of medical supplies currently affected by delays, according to the available statement from its representative.
