The head of the World Health Organization called for a ceasefire and a “true solution” to the Israel-Palestinian conflict in an emotional plea to the global health body’s governing body on January 25 where he said the conditions in Gaza as “hellish”.WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, who lived through the war as a child and whose own children hid in a bunker during bombardments in Ethiopia’s 1998-2000 border conflict with Eritrea, became emotional describing conditions in the bombed-out Gaza enclave where more than 25,000 have been killed.”I think all of you have said the two-state solution and so on, and hope this war will end and move into a true solution,” he told the WHO’s Executive Board, during a discussion about the health emergency in the Gaza enclave, before breaking down, describing the current situation as “beyond words”.Israeli representative, Waleed Gadban, said the international community has chosen “not to care” about the hostages and that this “decision represents a grave moral failure.”
