WHO chief Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus has said the health body is still out of touch with their staff and health facilities in a post on X.

“Reports of intense bombardment in Gaza are extremely distressing. Evacuation of patients is not possible under such circumstances, nor to find safe shelter. The [communication] blackout is also making it impossible for ambulances to reach the injured.

“We are still out of touch with our staff and health facilities. I’m worried about their safety.

“WHO appeals to all those who have the power to push for a ceasefire to act NOW.”
