Geneva [Switzerland], May 13: New estimates from the World Health Organization (WHO) indicate that 43,000 people in the Gaza Strip have suffered life-altering, severe injuries as a result of Israeli attacks since October 2023. However, the supplies needed to help them have been stuck at customs for more than one year in some cases, Reinhilde van de Weerdt, the WHO representative for the occupied Palestinian territories, said on Tuesday. The total number of injured people, including less complicated cases, stands at around 172,000.
