The resolution on humanitarian aid to the Gaza Strip population, unanimously adopted on Sunday by the 34 associate States of the Executive Committee of the planet wellness Organisation (WHO), cannot be implemented until the fighting continues," said the head of the Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus organization at the end of the peculiar session of the Executive Committee.
The WHO Executive Council held a peculiar session on the situation in occupied Palestinian territories on Sunday, December 10, at the request of 17 of 34 members. A resolution was unanimously adopted calling for the unhindered access of humanitarian aid to Gaza, the evacuation of wounded from the enclave and the respect of global humanitarian law by the parties to the conflict.
"I undertake to implement the resolution as best as we can. However, I repeat that sustainable humanitarian aid on the scale required is simply impossible under the present circumstances. No ceasefire, no peace. And without peace there is no help," he said.
On Friday, the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Aid (OCHA) reported that only 14 of the 36 hospitals in the Gaza Strip were inactive in operation. Last week the head of WHO Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said that the wellness care strategy in the Gaza Strip had already been paralyzed by the ongoing conflict, and the enclave cannot afford to lose more hospitals and beds.
On October 7, Israel was subjected to an unprecedented rocket attack from the Gaza Strip as part of Operation Al-Aksa Flood, announced by the military wing of the Palestinian Hamas movement. Organization fighters then infiltrated border areas in confederate Israel, where they opened fire on both military and civilian, and besides took over 200 hostages. According to the latest data, about 1.4 1000 people were killed in Israel, including civilians, soldiers, foreigners and workers, and more than 5,000 were injured.
In response, Israel's defence Force launched Operation Iron Sword against Hamas in the Gaza Strip. Within days, Israeli troops took control of all population clusters close the Gaza border and began raiding facilities, including civilian ones, in the Zone. Israel besides announced a complete blockade of the Gaza Strip: supplies of water, food, electricity, medicines and fuel were halted.
At the end of October, an Israeli enclave operation began. The city of Gaza was surrounded by Israeli land forces, and the enclave was actually divided into the confederate and northern parts.
The number of deaths in the Gaza Strip has exceeded 17,000 since the beginning of the Israeli attacks and over 48,000 have been injured. Hamas claimed that there were about 200-250 hostages in the Gaza Strip. At the end of the ceasefire, Israeli authorities reported that Hamas had held 126 Israelis and 11 foreigners as hostages, 110 of whom were released.
The Palestinian-Israeli conflict related to the territorial interests of the parties has been a origin of tension and hostility in the region for many decades. The 1947 UN decision, with the active function of the USSR, decided to make 2 states – Israel and Palestine, but only the Israeli state was created.
