Between October 7 and May 28, #WHO said it had documented 480 attacks on healthcare in the West Bank, including on medical facilities, mobile clinics, ambulances, and the detention of health workers and patients.
Those attacks left 16 people dead and 95 injured, WHO said.
Since Israel’s war on Gaza started on October 7, 521 Palestinians have been killed in the West Bank, including 126 children. The injured number more than 5,200, including 800 children, WHO added.
2,7 Millionen Tote in Europa, jährlich. Laut einem neuen Report der Weltgesundheitsorganisation WHO sind vier Branchen dafür verantwortlich. Eine davon ist die fossile Brennstoffindustrie.

Da ist mal wieder ein Bericht der WHO sehr einseitig und verkürzt dargestellt ! Die WHO beklagt hauptsächlich die Aktivitäten der Tabak-, Pharma- und Lebensmittelindustrie und schädliche Werbemassnahmen, die auf Kinder und Jugendliche abzielen. Rauchen, Alkohol, ungesunde Ernährung, zuwenig Bewegung, das verursacht die Toten ! Man kann nicht populistisch alles dem "Klimawandel" unterschieben! Also, wie immer: selber lesen hilft ! #WHO #Klimawandel #fossile Brennstoffe
(From Resistance Sources) The IOF launched heavy airstrikes targeting multiple areas across the Gaza Strip:
Northern Gaza:
The humanitarian situation is catastrophic in northern Gaza Strip, especially in terms of famine, reports Al-Mayadeen.
10 martyrs and 17 wounded have been reported in the IOF bombing of Al-Nazla School in the Al-Saftawi area, in northern Gaza.
10 martyrs and several injured have been reported in the targeting of a house near shelters in Beit Hanoun, northern Gaza Strip.

The Kuwait Specialized Hospital in Rafah appeals to the World Health Organization to urgently provide fuel to ensure it remains operational.
#Occupation forces are completely destroying residential buildings in some neighborhoods of #Rafah, particularly in Al-Shawka and Al-Jneina.

Today in LGBTQ History, May 17 is International Day Against Homophobia, Biphobia and Transphobia (IDAHOBIT). This date was chosen to commemorate the 1990 decision to remove homosexuality from the International Classification of Diseases of the World Health Organization (WHO). In 2009, the WHO added transphobia to the name of the campaign, and organized activities that year to highlight and end. The goal of the campaign is to raise awareness of violence, discrimination, and repression of LGBT communities throughout the world.
#Palestine’s delegate, Ryad Awaja, a counsellor in Geneva’s UN Mission, applauded as he moves to a seat for member states at final #WHA Plenary Saturday evening after Friday’s vote to elevate Palestine’s status to that of a member state – except for voting rights.
With health agencies like these, what could possibly go right?
"After two years of argument and discussion, it has officially rebranded airborne viral transmission as “through the air” transmission. Airborne particles aren’t aerosol anymore; they’re “Infectious Respiratory Particles,” or IRPs. Jargony language aside, the major practical implications of this document are that, unlike previous airborne infection control guidance, their new guidance will not, in fact, control airborne infections."
Cool new #COVID19 risk assessment tool. Called ARIA (Airborne Risk Indoor Assessment), it comes from #WHO. (Look, they say it's airborne--finally.) 😆
It asks for LOTS of info (date, nation and city, Enter temp, humidity, dimensions of room, occupancy, duration, assumed number of attendees infected, if you've been vaccinated, etc.) and provides an estimate of risk:
New research found that >10% of countries & territories met #WorldHealthOrganization guidelines for particulate matter #pollution last year.
Only 10 countries & territories out of 134 achieved the #WHO’s standards for a pervasive form of #AirPollution last year, acc/to #AirQuality data compiled by IQAir, a Swiss company.
The #WorldHealthOrganization sets a guideline that people shouldn’t breathe more than 5 micrograms of #FineParticulateMatter per cubic meter of #air, on average, throughout a year. The #UnitedStates#EPA recently proposed tightening its standard from 12 to 9 micrograms per cubic meter.
#WHO / Famine in Gaza is imminent, with immediate and long-term health consequences
The World Health Organization, along with numerous other humanitarian organizations, are depending on an #IPC report to raise awareness about the pressing issue of an impending famine in Gaza. There are claims by some that the famine is architected by Israel.
The Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC) is a multi-partner initiative that uses a classification and analytical approach to determine the severity and magnitude of acute and chronic food insecurity and malnutrition situations in a country. The goal is to provide decision-makers with evidence-based analysis to inform emergency responses and long-term policies. The IPC was developed in 2004 by FAO's Food Security and Nutrition Analysis Unit (FSNAU) and has since been implemented globally in over 30 countries. It is considered a best practice in the food security field and a model of collaboration.

The Palestinian Ministry of Health in #Gaza urgently appeals to international institutions, including the World Health Organization (#WHO) and the #RedCross, to provide blood units and components of all types to save injured Palestinian lives amid a critical shortage.
#UN / Gaza: Worst famine fears realised as 10th child reportedly ‘starves to death’
[…] Today, finding food within Gaza itself, whether from farming or fishing, “is almost impossible”, Mr. Laerke continued. “Putting food on the table…has completely stopped. The very foundation for people's daily sustenance is being ripped away.”
[…] According to #UNRWA, the UN agency for Palestinian refugees, the quantity of aid supplies reaching Gaza in February was just half of January’s total, “and we know that January was not enough at all”, the #WHO spokesperson said.
Israeli forces block #WHO medicine, fuel for Nasser Hospital
For almost 10 hours now, there’s been two trucks filled with medical supplies outside of Nasser Hospital. They’re also carrying much-needed fuel for generators to provide power to the besieged health facility.
These two trucks were sent by the World Health Organization but have been blocked by Israeli military tanks and bulldozers. They’ve been surrounded and prevented from moving.
Είδε όλος ο πλανήτης τον βομβαρδισμό του νοσοκομείου #alahlihospital. Όλος ο κόσμος ξέρει ότι το έγκλημα έγινε από τους σιωνιστές. Όποιος ακόμα έχει αμφιβολίες ας δει το διαρκές έγκλημα που διαπράττουν ενάντια στις δομές και το προσωπικό υγείας της Παλαιστίνης και θα καταλάβει. https://todon.nl/@prolrage/110343085189751504
#WHO chief condemns 'decimation' of #Gaza health system
Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, the head of the World Health Organization (WHO), has said the “decimation” of the health system in Gaza was “a tragedy” and reiterated his call for a ceasefire.
He also hailed Gaza’s #medical workers who continue their work under increasingly dire circumstances.
“The decimation of the Gaza #health system is a tragedy,” he posted. “We persist in calling for #CeasefireNow.”
“In the face of constant insecurity and inflows of wounded patients, we see doctors, nurses, ambulance drivers and more continue striving to save lives,” Tedros said. #IsraelTerroristState#IsraelWarCrimes #freepalestine
