There are severe shortages of blood supplies in Gaza to treat the wounded amid a renewed Israeli offensive, the World Health Organization says. “Everything related to trauma is quickly running short. There are fewer than 500 blood units available – 4,500 blood packs are needed each month,” WHO representative Rik Peeperkorn has told reporters in Geneva via videolink in Jerusalem. Israel announced on March 2 that it would be suspending the delivery of all goods and supplies to Gaza due to what it said was Hamas’s refusal to accept a proposal to extend the initial stage of a ceasefire and captive release deal.
