Humanitarian health situation in the oPt
The Sixty-second World Health Assembly discussed the humanitarian health situation in the occupied Palestinian territory (oPt), including east Jerusalem, and the occupied Syrian Golan. Particular attention was given to the Specialized Health Mission to Gaza requested by the 124th Executive Board, which identified the urgent health and humanitarian needs and assessed the destruction of medical facilities which occurred in the oPt, particular in the Gaza Strip and to submit a report on current, medium- and long-term needs on the direct and indirect effects on health of the Israeli military operations. Resolution WHA62.2 on these matters was passed on 20 May 2009 requesting the Director-General to make the extended report of the Specialized Health Mission available.

WHO Emergency Operational Plan
As Israel’s military operation in Gaza enters its
third week, the civilian population is bearing the
brunt of the violence. More than 880 people have
been killed and over 4000 injured in just sixteen
days. Gaza is one of the world’s most densely
populated places; it is clear that more civilians will
be killed and more homes, buildings and civilian
infrastructure destroyed if the conflict continues.
Health services in Gaza are under enormous strain
and require urgent and wide-ranging support.
