世界卫生组织（WHO）表示，将救命药物、假肢及其他物资从以色列运入加沙地带的过程屡屡延误，可能给急需这些物资的巴勒斯坦人带来“毁灭性后果”。
Repeated delays in bringing life-saving medicines, prosthetics and other supplies from Israel into Gaza risk having “devastating consequences” for Palestinians who urgently need them, the World Health Organization (WHO) has said.
世卫组织周五表示，获批援助物资只能通过位于加沙地带南端的凯雷姆沙洛姆口岸进入，而同样位于南部的拉法口岸仅允许有限人员通行，包括需要出国就医的患者。
Approved aid can enter Gaza only through Kerem Shalom, at the southern tip of the territory, while Rafah, also in the south, is open only for limited movement of people, including patients needing medical treatment abroad, the WHO said on Friday.
世卫组织驻巴勒斯坦代表莱因希尔德·范德韦尔特表示：“一车非优先物资，或是正确物资到得太晚，都救不了命。这才是真正关键的问题。”
“A truck full of non-priority supplies or the right supplies arriving too late doesn’t save lives. That’s the question that actually matters,” Reinhilde Van De Weerdt, the WHO’s representative in Palestine, said.
范德韦尔特呼吁以色列当局“释放对医疗物资的限制”，称基本药物“不应被视为两用物资，因为它们是全球公认的医疗标准，任何地方的医院或诊所运营都需要这些物品”。她补充说，一批假肢和辅助器具在过去六个月内已被拒绝四次。
Van De Weerdt called on Israeli authorities to “release the pressure on medical supplies”, saying essential medicines “should not be considered as dual use, as they are globally accepted standards on medical items anybody needs anywhere to run a hospital or a clinic”. She added that one shipment of prosthetics and assistive devices had been rejected four times over the past six months.
她说：“每一次拒绝，都意味着又一位已经失去肢体、仅仅等待重新行走机会的人不得不继续等待。”她指出，相比之下，“药品流通相对顺畅”，近87%获批，仅略超1%被拒。
“Every rejection means another delay for someone who has already lost a limb and is simply waiting for the chance to walk again,” she said, noting that medicines “by contrast, move relatively well”, with almost 87 percent approved and just over 1 percent rejected.
范德韦尔特表示：“我们的诉求简单且从未改变：我们需要人道主义和卫生物资能够畅通无阻、可预测地大规模进入加沙。我们还需要多口岸模式，使援助不必被迫通过有限的几个口岸缓慢渗透。”
“Our ask is simple and has not changed: we need the unimpeded and predictable entry of humanitarian and health supplies into Gaza at scale. We also need a multi-crossing model so that aid isn’t forced to trickle down through a limited number of crossings,” Van De Weerdt said.
加沙地带的其他四个主要入境口岸——基苏芬、96号门、埃雷兹和埃雷兹西——仍然关闭，并完全处于以色列控制之下。
Four other main entry points into Gaza – Kissufim, Gate 96, Erez and Erez West – remain closed and under total Israeli control.
她赞扬了仍在加沙冒着生命危险工作的“非凡医护人员”，称他们没有获得足够物资为患者提供所需护理。冬季与疾病风险“随着冬季来临，向加沙运送物资的紧迫性愈发凸显，”范德韦尔特说道。“近200万民众急需避难所来抵御严寒与洪水威胁，否则将面临严重的健康与安全风险，更不用说尊严问题了。”她指出，由于缺乏安全的栖身之所和清洁水源，当地居民罹患可预防疾病的风险大幅上升；此外，大量携带病菌的鼠类也构成威胁，而公共卫生实验室的损毁则使得这种风险更难被监测。
She praised the “extraordinary health workers” still risking their lives in Gaza, who she said were not receiving enough supplies to give patients the care they needed. Winter and disease risk“As winter begins, this urgency to get supplies into Gaza only deepens,” Van De Weerdt said. “Almost two million people are in need of shelter to protect against the cold and the risk of flooding, exposing people to serious health and safety risks, let alone their dignity.”She said residents faced a heightened risk of preventable disease outbreaks linked to the lack of safe shelter and clean water, and a high number of rats whose bites transmit infection, a threat made harder to track by the destruction of public health laboratories.
联合国人道主义事务协调厅（OCHA）周四警告称，加沙城内固体垃圾不断堆积，可能引发严重的公共卫生危机。由于难以获得重型机械、机油、零部件及资金支持，当地的卫生条件改善依然举步维艰。
The UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) warned on Thursday of serious public health risks from the accumulation of solid waste in Gaza City, where sanitation gains remain fragile because of a lack of reliable access to heavy machinery, engine oil, spare parts and fuel funding.
在哈马斯与以色列达成脆弱的“停火”协议近12个月后，尽管以色列仍持续发动空袭及其他军事行动，但据OCHA评估，加沙的人道主义局势依然“极其严峻”。
Almost 12 months into a fragile “ceasefire” between Hamas and Israel, marked by continuing Israeli air attacks and other military activity, Gaza’s humanitarian situation remains “overwhelming”, according to OCHA.
