The World Health Organization said Israeli authorities are preventing medical equipment and imaging devices from entering Gaza without providing official justification for the restrictions, Shehab Wire reported. The organization emphasized that current aid flowing into the strip is insufficient to meet demand.
WHO's statement contradicts claims by Israeli officials that restrictions on Gaza have been eased. The blockade continues to severely hamper the territory's healthcare system and capacity to treat patients.
