WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus emotionally urged Israel to show mercy in Gaza, warning that the war harms both sides and peace is essential. He condemned the use of food and medical supplies as weapons amid severe shortages and hospital closures. With millions in Gaza facing death and suffering, Tedros called for an end to starvation, hostage releases, and restoration of health services, stressing a political solution is needed for lasting peace.
