WHO chief Tedros demands ceasefire after staff visit Gaza hospital

The World Health Organization (WHO) is working on a plan to rescue the remaining patients from the al-Shifa hospital in the Gaza Strip, as quickly as is possible.

WHO head Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus posted on Saturday night on the social media platform X, saying that staff had visited the hospital on Saturday and found "a deplorable situation."

"The team saw a hospital no longer able to function: no water, no food, no electricity, no fuel, medical supplies depleted," he posted.

The team found a mass grave at the entrance to the hospital and were informed that more than 80 people were buried.
