Gaza's Grim Reality: Children's Lives Lost Every 10 Minutes

The World Health Organization (WHO) Director-General, Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, informed the United Nations Security Council that a child is killed on average every 10 minutes in the Gaza Strip, emphasizing that nowhere and no one is safe. He highlighted the dire state of Gaza's healthcare system, with half of its hospitals and two-thirds of primary healthcare centers not functioning properly. Tedros described hospital corridors filled with the injured, dying, and morgues overflowing. Since October 7, the WHO has verified over 250 attacks on healthcare in Gaza and the West Bank, while there have been 25 attacks on healthcare in Israel. Israel's Ambassador to the UN, Gilad Erdan, stated that Israel is working on establishing hospitals in southern Gaza and facilitating medical aid. The United States is also working to provide fuel to hospitals in Gaza.
