WHO ready to ‘scale up’ health response after Gaza ceasefire: chief

GENEVA: The World Health Organization chief hailed Thursday the ceasefire deal between Israel and Hamas as “a big step toward lasting peace,” saying his agency was prepared to “scale up” health assistance in Gaza. “WHO stands ready to scale up its work to meet the dire health needs of patients across Gaza, and to support rehabilitation of the destroyed health system,” Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said on X. Numbers alone cannot capture the toll the Israel-Hamas war has taken on the Gaza Strip.
