GENEVA – In a post on the X platform, WHO Director-General Dr. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus stated that famine, malnutrition, and disease in Gaza have led to an increase in hunger-related deaths, stressing that this calls for the urgent delivery of food and medical aid on a large scale to prevent the situation from worsening.
He pointed to the Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC) report, which warned that Gaza is experiencing the worst famine, adding: “Famine, malnutrition, and disease are leading to a rise in hunger-related deaths.”
