The World Health Organization (WHO) has emphasized the dire need for a humanitarian ceasefire to facilitate the treatment of more casualties in Northern Gaza Strip.

In a statement, the organization said that a humanitarian ceasefire in Gaza is needed to ensure the evacuation of all Palestinian wounded.

The besieged Gaza Strip has been under heavy Israeli bombardment following the initiation of "Al-Quds Sword" operation by Palestinian movement Hamas, resulting in thousands of casualties.

The United Nations and numerous non-governmental organizations have previously warned about the catastrophic humanitarian situation in the small Palestinian sector, which has a population of 2.4 million.
