Blood and plasma transport has taken place without a looted
From March 2, Israel blocked the supply of humanitarian aid to the Palestinian territory. After almost three months and after international pressure, he allowed at least a limited supply of aid. However, according to AFP, Israel has so far allowed the supply of some food, but no other commodities.
Ghebreyesus, published on the X Network, wrote that Wednesday’s consignment of medical supplies, plasma and blood is distributed to hospitals in Palestinian territory in the coming days.
Through Kerem border crossing Salo and Israel, nine trucks with basic medical materials, 2000 blood units and 1500 plasma units, “without any looting, were allowed, according to the WHO chief, without any risk on the route.”
WHO calls for additional immediate medical supplies to Gaza
Blood and plasma were delivered to the refrigeration facility of the Nasir Medical Complex for further distribution to hospitals that have a critical shortcoming, while at the time of the growing influx of injuries, many of which are related to incidents in food distribution sites, the WO chief said.
The WHO said last week that of the 36 Gazan hospitals there are only 17 partially functional, while the remaining is not even able to operate.
Four WHO trucks are according to Kerem’s head of Kerem and others are on their way to the Gaza Strip. “However, these medical supplies are just a drop in the sea. There is no need for extensive help to save lives,” he said. “WHO calls for immediate, undisturbed and permanent medical supplies to Gaza with all possible ways,” he added.
WHO is concerned about cooperation with the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation
The distribution of aid in the Palestinian enclave is currently provided by Israel and the United States supported by the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF). However, its aid distribution system is accompanied by chaos, and almost every day there are cases that Israeli troops use firearms against civilians.
UN and other large humanitarian groups refused to cooperate with GHF for concern that this organization was conceived to meet Israeli military goals, writes AFP.
Israel continues to attack the Gaza Strip as part of its military operation, the aim of which is to defeat the Palestinian militant Hamas movement.
