WHO Restores Communication With Al-Shifa Hospital in Gaza, Tedros Says

(Reuters) – The World Health Organization (WHO) has managed to restore communication with health professionals at the Al-Shifa hospital in northern Gaza, WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said on Sunday.

“Regrettably, the hospital is not functioning as a hospital anymore,” he added in a post on X, formerly known as Twitter.

WHO lost communication on Saturday and the health ministry in Hamas-controlled Gaza said that operations at Al Shifa hospital complex, the largest in the Palestinian enclave, were suspended after it ran out of fuel.
