People are dying in the Gaza Strip on average every ten minutes a child, World Health Organization (WHO) CEO Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said on Friday. In a speech to the UN Security Council, Tedros said that “no one in the Gaza Strip is safe, anywhere“.

Since the war between Hamas and Israel began five weeks ago, according to the WHO, more than 250 attacks reported on medical facilities or medics in the Gaza Strip. This happened 25 times in the West Bank. According to Israel, Hamas is entrenching itself in tunnels under hospitals, but the Palestinian organization denies this.

A doctor working in the hospital Al Shifa in Gaza City works, said in a telephone interview with the American NBC News that there was Friday evening Explosions continued to sound until at least midnight (local time).. “There are bombings going off just about every minute,” said Adnan Albursh, who works as an orthopedic surgeon at the hospital. Also in the evening deaths have occurred.

A BBC reporter said on Friday evening that the situation around Al Shifa is tense. Reporter Rushdi Abualouf spoke to the director of Al Shifa, who said there was another such 15,000 people are present in the complex. People are treated in aisles and on the floor.

Al Shifa was hit by explosions during the day on Friday, the World Health Organization (WHO) confirmed “intense violence” around the hospital. Hamas reported that the attacks killed at least thirteen people. Eyewitnesses told the BBC that they saw Israeli tanks near the hospital.

Since the war between Hamas and Israel began five weeks ago, attention has often been focused on the largest hospital in the Gaza Strip. The Israeli army claims that Hamas is holed up in tunnels under Al Shifa Hospital. The Palestinian movement denies this.

The French President Emmanuel Macron called on Israel in an interview on the British public broadcaster BBC stop the bombings that are killing civilians in the Gaza Strip. He emphasized that a ceasefire would also benefit Israel.

“We share Israel’s pain. And we share their will to get rid of terrorism. But “today de facto civilians bombed. Those babies, those women, those elderly people who are being bombed and killed”, there is “no justification”, “no legitimacy”. “So we call on Israel to stop,” he stated.

According to the Health Ministry of Hamas, which controls the Gaza Strip, Israeli bombardments have already… more than 11,000 people died since the start of the war on October 7.

Because Israel is a democracy, it must “its response in the fight against terrorism is in accordance with the international rules of war and international humanitarian law”, Macron emphasized. When asked whether Israel has already violated international law, the president said that he had “is not a judge, but a head of state”.

He also regretted the “mass bombing” of Gaza causing “resentment” in the region.

On Thursday, Macron also called for “work towards a ceasefire” during an international peace forum in Paris.

“First one humanitarian pause is the only solution to reach a ceasefire that will allow to protect all civilians who have nothing to do with the terrorists,” he emphasized on Friday. “It is impossible to explain that we want to fight against through terrorism killing innocent people.”

The statements were met with criticism by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. “Responsibility for the suffering of citizens lies with Hamas, not with Israel. While Israel is doing everything possible to spare civilians and calls on them to leave the combat zones, Hamas is abusing them as human shields and doing everything it can to prevent them from moving to safer areas,” Netanyahu said on X, formerly Twitter . “The crimes that Hamas is committing today in Gaza will be committed tomorrow in Paris, New York and around the world. Heads of state should condemn Hamas, not Israel.”

It health system is in the Gaza Strip “on one’s knees”. The head of the World Health Organization (WHO) Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus made this statement before the United Nations Security Council.

In the past month, more than 250 attacks on hospitals take place in the Gaza Strip and there were too 25 attacks on health infrastructure in Israel. Earlier in the day, the WHO reported this 20 of the 36 hospitals in the Gaza Strip are no longer operational. “Nowhere is safe, no one is safe,” said the WHO chief.

He also described “indescribable scenes”: “Hospital corridors are packed with the wounded, sick and dying. Mortuaries are overrun. Surgeons operate without anesthesia. Tens of thousands of people are sheltering in hospitals and schools“, he stated. The human toll is enormous. “On average, a child dies every ten minutes in the Gaza Strip.”

The need for more humanitarian aid is therefore large, while Israel only allows humanitarian convoys to a very limited extent. “Before October 7, an average of 500 trucks per day entered Gaza with essential equipment. Since October 21, only 650 trucks arrivedinstead of the expected 10,000,” the UN chief said.

The head of the Palestinian Red Cross Marwan Jilani told the UN Security Council that the lack of fuel due to the Israeli blockade has already cost many lives. “Currently there is a very great danger that we will lose all patients in intensive care units and… losing children in the incubators” he stated. The humanitarian aid that reached Gaza last month is equivalent to what normally arrives in two days.

The members of the Security Council have not yet succeeded in achieving one to reach a common position on the Gaza war, partly due to vetoes from the United States, China and Russia. A new proposed resolution is now being negotiated behind closed doors, but so far without success.

Before the war, the country was still trying to strengthen ties with Israel, but that process seems to be stalling due to the violence.
