JAKARTA - Director-General of the World Health Organization (WHO) Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus revealed that 350 patients and 5,000 refugees who are still in Nasser Hospital in southern Gaza are experiencing a shortage of fuel, food, and supplies. Hundreds of patients and health workers have saved themselves as fighting around the hospital in Khan Younis increases. "Currently, 350 patients and 5,000 refugees are still staying in hospital. The hospital is running out of fuel, food and supplies," Tedros wrote on platform X, Saturday, January 27. Tedros added that fighting continues around hospitals and access to bring back supplies is still hindered.

"We are calling for an immediate ceasefire, so we can refill the much-needed supply of life-saving," he said. The war has left 85 percent of Gaza's population displaced amid a food, clean water and medicine crisis, with more than half of the infrastructure in the enclave damaged or even destroyed.
