ISRAEL-HAMAS CONFLICT: WHO official says situation in southern Gaza ‘worse by the hour’

Paul Okojie

A World Health Organization official in Gaza described the situation today as deteriorating by the hour as Israeli Defense Forces intensified its bombing in the south of the territory around the cities of Khan Younis and Rafah.

“The situation is getting worse by the hour,” Richard Peeperkorn, WHO representative on the occupied Palestinian territory, told the media via a video link from Gaza, Reuters reports.

“There’s intensified bombing going on all around, including here in the southern areas, Khan Younis and even in Rafah.”Peeperkorn said the humanitarian aid reaching Gaza was “way too little” and said the WHO was deeply concerned about the vulnerability of the health system in the densely populated territory as more people move further south to escape the bombing.

“I want to make this point very clear that we are looking at an increasing humanitarian disaster,” he said.
