Geneva, July 24 (Hibya) – World Health Organization (WHO) Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus stated that 2.1 million people in Gaza are facing hunger, calling for full humanitarian access, release of hostages, a ceasefire, and a political solution.
In a statement shared on social media, Ghebreyesus emphasized that the 2.1 million people in the region are threatened not only by war but also by hunger.
“Gaza is a battlefield, and hunger is now as deadly as bombs,” he said.
