The Trump administration's decision to suspend funding to the World Health Organization has resulted in the freezing of $46 million earmarked for its operations in Gaza. This move has raised concerns about the impact on critical healthcare services in the region.
Dr. Rik Peeperkorn, the WHO representative for Occupied Palestinian Territories, highlighted that the suspension of funds would lead to underfunding in key areas such as EMT operations, health facility rehabilitation, coordination with partner organizations, and medical evacuations. These services are vital for the well-being of the population in Gaza.
