Statement by the Director of the World Health Organization regarding the intense bombing of Gaza
The Director of the World Health Organization has spoken up about the intense bombing happening in Gaza.
Reports of intense bombing in Gaza
The Director said that the reports of intense bombing in Gaza are really painful. It means that there are a lot of bombs being dropped, and it's causing a lot of destruction. This is a big problem because it's making it really hard to transport patients to hospitals or find safe places for them to stay.
Power outages and ambulances
Another big issue is that there are power outages in Gaza. This means that there is no electricity, and that's a problem because ambulances need electricity to work properly. Without electricity, it's really difficult for ambulances to reach the people who are hurt and need help.
Concern for staff and health facilities
The Director also mentioned that they are really worried about their staff and health facilities in Gaza. They can't even reach them right now because of all the bombing. It's a scary situation, and they want to make sure that their staff and health facilities are safe.
Calling for a Ceasefire
In order to stop all this violence and destruction, the Director is calling on everyone who has the power to press for a ceasefire. A ceasefire means that both sides agree to stop fighting. It's an important step towards peace and making sure that people are safe.
