The World Health Organization, WHO, has raised fresh alarm over a worsening humanitarian and public health crisis across the Eastern Mediterranean Region, warning that renewed conflict, disease outbreaks, food insecurity and severe funding shortages are pushing millions deeper into emergency conditions.
