WHO chief says northern Gaza hospitals on ‘brink of collapse’ due to new offensive

The World Health Organization chief warns that Israel’s ground offensive in northern Gaza has left already overwhelmed hospitals on the “brink of collapse” and demands an “end to these inhumane conditions.”

“The military incursion and evacuation orders in northern Gaza are driving new waves of displacement, forcing traumatized families into an ever-shrinking area unfit for human dignity,” Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus says on X, warning that “hospitals, already overwhelmed, are on the brink of collapse as escalating violence blocks access and prevents WHO from delivering lifesaving supplies.”
