The World Health Organization (WHO) said repeated Israeli delays and rejections of medicines, prosthetics and other medical supplies risk "devastating consequences" for Palestinians in Gaza, with only the Kerem Shalom crossing in the south open for approved aid. WHO's Palestine representative, Reinhilde Van De Weerdt, urged Israel to stop treating essential medicines as "dual use" items and to allow predictable, large-scale entry through multiple crossings, noting one prosthetics shipment had been rejected four times in six months. With winter beginning, almost two million people lack adequate shelter, and the UN says disease risks are rising amid sanitation failures nearly a year into a fragile ceasefire between Hamas and Israel.
