The World Health Organization has expressed grave concerns over the deteriorating condition of children in Gaza, underlining the severe consequences of the ongoing aid blockade and renewed military strikes. The organization's top officials admonished the international community for its inaction.

Deputy Director General Dr. Michael Ryan, in an emphatic address from WHO's Geneva headquarters, stressed the catastrophic effects on Gaza's young population. 'We are breaking the bodies and minds of the children of Gaza,' he stated, imploring global powers to intervene.
