GENEVA, Switzerland– The World Health Organization said Saturday enough basic health supplies to serve 300,000 people in the Gaza Strip have been flown to an Egyptian airport near the Palestinian enclave.
A picture taken from the Israeli city of Sderot shows black dust and smoke ascending in the Palestinian Gaza Strip, on October 14, 2023, amid the ongoing battles between Israel and the Palestinian Islamist group Hamas. Hamas launched a large-scale attack on Israel on October 7 which killed 1,300 people, sparking a retaliatory bombing campaign that has killed at least 1,900 in the Gaza Strip ahead of a potential Israeli ground invasion of the territory.
A plane carrying 78 cubic metres of health supplies from the UN health agency's logistics hub in Dubai has landed in El Arish airport"to serve the needs of 300,000 people," including pregnant women. It has been closed since Tuesday after three Israeli strikes in less than 24 hours, which damaged the terminal on the Palestinian side.
