The Gaza Strip is completely besieged by Israel, and the World Health Organization demanded on Tuesday that a humanitarian corridor be built to enter and exit the area.
In reaction to the unexpected onslaught by Hamas, which it has compared to the 9/11 assaults, Israel has cut off the food and water supplies, electricity, and other necessities while bombing targets in the populated Palestinian enclave.
The WHO claimed that the Gaza Strip’s supplies were already running low and that patients in the region’s hospitals urgently required them.
The UN health organization stated that medical facilities needed to be preserved and protected.
“WHO is calling for an end to the violence… a humanitarian corridor is needed to reach people with critical medical supplies,” WHO spokesman Tarik Jasarevic told a press briefing in Geneva.
“We need supplies to come in: hospitals cannot run without fuel, without electricity.
“The supplies that we have pre-positioned are already running low so we need those supplies to come.
