.@WHO is increasing its support to countries impacted by the conflict in the Middle East, releasing US$2 million in emergency funds to support the health responses in #Lebanon, #Iraq and #Syria.
These resources are from the WHO Contingency Fund for Emergencies, thanks to the support of donors. The funds will help strengthen emergency coordination, trauma care, disease surveillance and ensure access to essential medicines and medical supplies.
As casualties rise, so do attacks on health care, which are increasing the burden on the health systems at a time when they are most needed.
I urge all parties to choose the brave and life-saving path to peace.
