His statement came in the aftermath of a devastating blast at a hospital that claimed the lives of hundreds of people.

“The situation in #Gaza is spiraling out of control. Every second we wait to get medical aid in, we lose lives. For 4 days WHO supplies have been stuck at the border,” Ghebreyesus conveyed in a statement on X.

“We need immediate access to start delivering life-saving supplies. We need violence on all sides to stop,” he emphasized.
