The director general of the World Health Organization Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said that Northern Gaza has no more functioning hospitals, describing scenes of horror witnessed by aid workers in the ruins of two partially destroyed medical facilities.

In a statement, Ghebreyesus revealed that workers who visited Al-Ahli and Al-Shifa hospitals on Wednesday during a rare humanitarian mission to deliver supplies “struggled to describe the immense impact recent attacks have had on these health facilities.”

WHO Chief: “At Al-Ahli, the aid workers found rows of dead bodies lined up outside the hospital, while severely injured civilians writhed in pain on the floor and the pews of the chapel inside of it.”
