Take steps to renew commitment to democracy and human rights: UN rights chief to Bangladesh government

South Africa Accuses Israel of Genocide at UN Court

World Health Organization (WHO) is very concerned about the potential danger of infectious diseases in Gaza

The World Health Organization's (WHO) chief, Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, voiced grave concerns on Friday regarding the growing risk of infectious diseases in the Gaza Strip. He drew attention to the large number of people who have been forcibly relocated throughout the southern region of Gaza, with many families being forced to take up residence in overcrowded medical facilities. In this difficult environment, Tedros and his colleagues at WHO continue to be deeply concerned about the growing risk of infectious diseases.

Declared a "terrorist" organization by the US and the EU, Israel has vowed to destroy Hamas in retaliation for an atta...

The population of Gaza is at risk due to a dire hunger crisis, according to the World Health Organization.

The population of the war-torn Palestinian territory is facing widespread hunger and desperation, according to a dire warning from the World Health Organization (WHO) about the dire situation in Gaza.

According to a WHO statement, people who are starving have been stopping their convoys in an attempt to find food, which has made it ...

Epidemic Preparedness Day is a day to “respond to the lessons of COVID-19,” as stated by Guterres.

The COVID-19 epidemic had a profound effect on millions of people's lives and caused extensive destruction. The World Health Organization (WHO) formally declared the public health emergency to be over on May 5, notwithstanding international efforts, but they emphasized that the threat remains worldwide. Secretary-General Mr. Guterres noted the continued challenges facing global healthcare systems as well as the long-lasting economic harm. The lack of routine immunizations puts the health of millions of children at danger. Three years have passed since vaccines were developed, but billions of people—especially in developing nations—still lack protection. In addition to emphasizing the need for improved pandemic preparedness, Guterres called for a collaborative effort to draw less...
