The World Health Organization (WHO) has expressed strong condemnation of Israel's recent military operations in Gaza, specifically highlighting a ground offensive in Deir al-Balah. This escalation has severely impacted the agency's ability to provide essential health services and humanitarian aid to the affected population.

According to WHO officials, the ongoing conflict has not only endangered the lives of civilians but has also hindered the organization’s efforts to deliver critical medical supplies and support to those in dire need. The agency emphasized that such military actions compromise the safety of healthcare workers and the integrity of medical facilities, further exacerbating the humanitarian crisis.

The WHO called for an immediate cessation of hostilities to ensure that humanitarian assistance can reach those affected by the violence. The organization reiterated its commitment to supporting the health needs of the population in Gaza, urging all parties involved to prioritize the protection of civilians and healthcare infrastructure.
