The World Health Organization (WHO) confirmed on Monday that the ceasefire in the Gaza Strip has not undone the damage caused by two years of devastating war.
In a post on its X account, monitored by the Yemeni News Agency (SABA), WHO stated that the ceasefire has provided some space for recovery in Gaza, but only 50% of health facilities in the territory are partially functional, with most having been damaged during the war.
With American and European support, the Israeli occupation army, over more than two consecutive years since 7 October 2023, committed crimes amounting to genocide, imposed sieges, and caused mass starvation in Gaza, resulting in the deaths of 70,937 Palestinian civilians, mostly children and women, and injuries to 171,192 others, according to provisional figures. Thousands of victims remain trapped under rubble or in streets where medical and rescue teams cannot reach them.
The Gaza ceasefire agreement came into effect on 10 October, following a two-year-long campaign of genocidal attacks by the Israeli army. However, Israel continues to violate the agreement daily and still prevents the entry of the majority of humanitarian aid into the territory.
