'Too many lives—and the fate of the entire region—hang in the balance,' said United Nations Secretary-General António Guterres.
The head of the United Nations on Wednesday called for an 'immediate humanitarian cease-fire' in Israel and Gaza following a deadly strike on the Palestinian territory's al-Ahli Hospital, where many displaced Palestinians had taken refuge amid relentless Israeli bombing. U.N. Secretary-General António Guterres said a cease-fire would 'provide sufficient time and space' for humanitarian aid to enter the Gaza Strip and hostages to be freed.
' 'The order for evacuation has been impossible to carry out given the current insecurity, critical condition of many patients, and lack of ambulances, staff, health system bed capacity, and alternative shelter for those displaced,' the WHO said. 'WHO calls for the immediate active protection of civilians and health care. Evacuation orders must be reversed. International humanitarian law must be abided by, which means healthcare must be actively protected and never targeted.
