UN warnings of "bloodbath" if occupation forces invade Rafah
WHO director-general Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus warned of what he described as a 'bloodbath' if Israel carried out a military attack on the city of Rafah in the southern Gaza Strip.
In a post on the X platform, the WHO said, 'WHO is deeply concerned that a full-scale military operation in Rafah, Gaza, could lead to a bloodbath, and further weaken an already broken health system.'
Cindy McCain, the executive director of the World Food Programme, said she believes there is a 'full-blown famine' in northern Gaza.
'Whenever you have conflicts like this, and emotions rage high, and things happen in a war, famine happens,' McCain said during an interview NBC.'
'What I can explain to you is — is that there is famine — full-blown famine — in the north, and it's moving its way south,' she said.
She went on to say that she is hopeful for a ceasefire in Gaza so that people can begin to be fed 'in a much faster fashion.' McCain added that the people in Gaza need 'water, sanitation, medicine – it's all part of the famine — the famine issue.'
