GENEVA, (WAFA) - World Health Organisation (WHO) said the humanitarian situation in the Palestinian territories is worsening.
WHO said that the Gaza municipality has run out of fuel, and shortages of water and electricity resulting in health threats to the population.
"Lack of power affects water treatment plants, increasing the risk of communicable disease outbreaks, and hinders the preservation of cold chain items and food supplies. Emergency stocks of essential drugs at MOH hospitals are running low," it said WHO.
WHO said it visited primary health care facilities, hospitals and drug stores in the West Bank and in Gaza to improve their monitoring system and collect data on the impact of the current crisis on the delivery of health services.
A WHO Nutrition team visited the five peripheral district clinics of Gaza to train district staff on the software used for nutrition surveillance.
