WHO urges global support for Gaza aid after a ceasefire, focusing on urgent health needs and long-term healthcare rebuilding.
(Reuters) - The World Health Organization called for the international community to step up and fund a scaled-up aid response in Gaza after Israel and Hamas reached a ceasefire deal to end 15 months of war in the region earlier this week.
The U.N. health agency said its member states, donors and the global community, including the private sector, should support both the urgent health needs and the longer-term rebuilding of Gaza's healthcare system.
"The UN cannot deliver the response alone," said Rik Peeperkorn, WHO representative for the Occupied Palestinian Territory.
