CurrentReport Blog The World Health Organization (WHO) has issued a stark warning regarding the potential consequences of Israel’s planned military operation in Rafah. The WHO, through its verified channels, emphasized the grave humanitarian crisis that could ensue if the offensive proceeds as scheduled.
The organization highlighted that over 1.2 million individuals are currently residing in Rafah, with many unable to relocate elsewhere. Any military action in the area, the WHO cautioned, would exacerbate overcrowding and severely limit access to essential services such as food, water, healthcare, and sanitation.
