Press Release - Honourable Ministers, Excellencies, dear colleagues and friends,
Good morning, good afternoon and good evening to all Member States, and thank you for joining us once again.
The hospital was one of 20 in the north of the Gaza Strip facing evacuation orders from the Israeli military. On Saturday, WHO delivered a planeload of supplies to Egypt from our logistics hub in Dubai, and a further four flights, with 40 metric tons of supplies, will arrive over the course of the next week.
I appeal to Israel to restore supplies of electricity and water, and to support the establishment of a humanitarian corridor into Gaza. WHO has developed a Public Health Situation Analysis that summarizes the health risks both globally and at individual country level, so countries can identify priority needs and readiness gaps, and mobilize preparedness efforts.Now on to cholera, a disease that led to the birth of modern public health, and health diplomacy, with the forerunner to the International Health Regulations.Reported cholera cases doubled from 2021 to 2022, and this year will be even worse.
This illustrates the fragility of many countries affected by climate change, including El Niño, and adverse social and economic conditions.There was a problem processing your submission. Please try again later.At the same time, we face severe shortages of life-saving supplies, including the oral cholera vaccine.
