WHO Board Convenes Urgent Meeting to Address Gaza's Health Crisis

The World Health Organization's executive board will hold an emergency meeting on December 10 to address the health crisis in Gaza and the West Bank. The meeting, requested by 15 countries, will focus on providing more medical aid and access for foreign healthcare workers. The Palestinian envoy aims to empower the WHO and call for an end to the targeting of the medical sector, while also seeking fresh medical supplies and the deployment of more doctors from around the world. Gaza's hospitals are overwhelmed due to Israeli bombings and a lack of fuel, and the WHO has warned of the spread of disease.
