Yesterday WHO delivered its first medical shipment into #Gaza since 2 March - 9 trucks carrying essential medical supplies, 2000 units of blood, and 1500 units of plasma.

The supplies were transported from Kerem Shalom, without any looting incident, despite the high-risk conditions along the route.

These supplies will be distributed to priority hospitals in the coming days. The blood and plasma were delivered to Nasser Medical Complex’s cold storage facility for onward distribution to hospitals facing critical shortages, amid a growing influx of injuries, many linked to incidents at food distribution sites.

Four WHO trucks are still at Kerem Shalom and more are en route to Gaza.

WHO thanks the Ministry of Health and UN for its support.

However, these medical supplies are only a drop in the ocean. Aid at scale is essential to save lives.

WHO calls for the immediate, unimpeded and sustained delivery of health aid into Gaza through all possible routes.
