The World Health Organization (WHO) has been asked by the Israeli military to remove medical supplies from its two warehouses in southern Gaza within 24 hours. The head of the WHO requested Israel to reverse the order, stating that ground operations would render the supplies useless. The WHO Director-General, Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, confirmed the notification from the Israel Defense Forces. The IDF warned that it would operate on the ground in the area, making the supplies inaccessible during the operation. Israel denies giving such an order to the UN health agency.
