WHO official gives harrowing account from Gaza

Rik Peeperkorn, the World Health Organization (WHO) representative for the occupied Palestinian territory, who is in Gaza, has given some harrowing accounts of what he has seen amid efforts by the WHO to supply hospitals there with essential medical and humanitarian supplies. “Currently in Gaza, everywhere I go, and I’ve been in Gaza City just a couple of days ago, and here in the south and everywhere, people live between anxiety and hope,” he said, referring to the ongoing talks in Egypt to broker an end to the fighting.
