The WHO has rejected Tel Aviv's claims of collusion with Hamas
WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus has dismissed claims by Tel Aviv that the WHO is colluding with Hamas and plotting against Israel.
WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus has rejected Tel Aviv's claims that the WHO is colluding with Hamas, "conspiring" against Israel and "turning a blind eye" to the suffering of Israeli prisoners in the Gaza Strip.
"Such false statements are harmful and can endanger our employees who put their lives at risk and serve vulnerable populations," Gebreesus wrote on social media.
As a UN agency, WHO is impartial and works for the health and well-being of all people, the statement said.
Yesterday, on January 25, Israel's representative at the WHO Meyrav Eilon Shahar announced that the WHO is in solidarity with H AMAS at the meeting of the organization's executive board. According to him, this is evidenced by the fact that Israel ignores the evidence that terrorists used hospitals in the Gaza Strip for military purposes, writes The Times of Israel .
On Friday morning, WHO spokesman Christian Lindmae said that since October 7, Israel has carried out more than 676 attacks on medical facilities in Gaza and the West Bank, resulting in 623 deaths and 837 injuries.
