No medical aid has entered Gaza since May 6: WHO

Despite Israel’s contention at the ICJ that it is facilitating the flow of aid into Gaza, the WHO said it has not been able to get any medical supplies into the Palestinian territory since Israeli troops moved towards Rafah.
“The last medical supplies that we got in Gaza was before May 6,” WHO spokesperson Tarik Jasarevic said at a UN press briefing today.
“We don’t have fuel. We have hospitals under evacuation order. We have a situation where we cannot move physically,” he said.
Palestinian health officials have warned that the few health facilities still operating are desperately depleted and at growing risk of shutting down as Israel presses on with its Rafah offensive.
Since Israel began its Rafah incursion on May 7, at least 630,000 Palestinians sheltering there have been forced out, according to the UN Agency for Palestinian Refugees (UNRWA).
