24 hours left for aid to enter Gaza before ‘catastrophe’: WHO

The World Health Organization issued a warning on Monday stating that the Gaza Strip only has “24 hours of water, electricity, and fuel left” before “a real catastrophe” occurs.

Ahmed Al-Mandhari, WHO’s Regional Director for the Eastern Mediterranean, declared that the battered and besieged region needed to be given access to assistance convoys that were stranded at the Rafah border crossing with Egypt.

If assistance does not arrive, doctors will have to “prepare death certificates for their patients”, he told AFP.
