The World Health Organization (WHO) has tallied “significant trauma needs” in Gaza.
WHO spokeswoman Margaret Harris said a total of 8,538 people had been injured across Gaza during the violence, and 30 health facilities had been damaged – with one clinic fully destroyed and another sustaining significant damage. She said damage to infrastructure was impeding the access of ambulances.
The comments to a UN briefing in Geneva came as humanitarian aid workers assessed the fallout from the latest fighting.
