Dr. Ahmed Mandhari, the WHO regional head for the Eastern Mediterranean, made the call during a briefing in Egypt's capital Cairo to discuss the humanitarian conditions in the besieged Gaza Strip after the Israeli regime and Hamas agreed on a humanitarian pause.
Mandhari also drew attention to the alarming toll on civilians in Gaza, adding that more than half of the fatalities were women and children, Anadolu Agency reported.
The Israeli regime waged the war on Gaza on October 7 after the Strip-based Palestinian Resistance groups of Hamas and Islamic Jihad carried out the surprise Operation Al-Aqsa Storm into the occupied territories in response to the occupying regime’s intensified crimes against the Palestinian people.
More than 14,532 Palestinians have been killed since October 7, including at least 6,000 children and 3,920 women.
Since October 7, the Israeli occupation has also claimed the lives of more than 200 Palestinians in the occupied West Bank.
