拉法關口開放民眾歡呼 譚德塞警告:不足以應付加薩需求
〔即時新聞/綜合報導〕加薩與埃及間的唯一通道「拉法關口(Rafah crossing)」今(21日)終於短暫開放,20輛滿載救援物資的卡車通過進入加薩走廊,埃及邊境的民眾看到後高聲歡呼。然而世界衛生組織(WHO)秘書長譚德塞(Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus)警告,目前加薩的需求遠高於這些。
據美國有線電視新聞網(CNN)報導,譚德塞在社群平台「X」上發文稱,為滿足「每一位加薩民眾的緊急醫療保健需求」,WHO呼籲應有一條更安全的通道,來護送額外的救援物資到這塊巴勒斯坦飛地,並提供所有的人道工作者保護,讓他們可以安全的進入加薩進行救援。
WHO表示,此次運送的物資包括「1200人份的創傷藥物和相關物資、可供235人使用的可攜式醫用袋、1500人份的慢性病藥物、30萬人三個月份的基本藥物和衛生用品」。
WHO也補充,近期由於物資短缺,加薩境內的醫院瀕臨崩潰。WHO正與埃及和巴勒斯坦的紅新月會(Red Crescent)合作,確保物資能安全通過並運送到醫院和醫療機構。
