Dr Reinhilde Van De Weerdt, the World Health Organization’s representative in the Occupied Palestinian Territory, criticized delays in getting medicines, prosthetics and other supplies from Israel into Gaza. In a report published by UN Geneva on 2 October 2026, she said supplies must enter predictably and at scale—and reach health workers and patients when and where they are needed.
What did WHO say about the delays?
Van De Weerdt said repeated delays risk serious consequences for Palestinians needing medical care. WHO’s central point was that counting what crosses into Gaza does not show whether the health response is meeting needs: a shipment may arrive too late, or contain items that are not the supplies clinicians urgently require.
“A truck full of non-priority supplies or the right supplies arriving too late doesn’t save lives,” she said. The key question, in her account, is whether health workers have the supplies they need and patients can receive the care they need.
The report identifies the delays and their potential consequences, but does not establish the cause of each delay. WHO’s account should therefore be understood as the organization’s assessment, not as an independent finding assigning responsibility for every bottleneck. UN Geneva’s 2 October 2026 report includes Van De Weerdt’s remarks.

What changes is WHO asking for?
Van De Weerdt called for “the unimpeded and predictable entry of humanitarian and health supplies into Gaza at scale.” She also called for a “multi-crossing model,” so aid would not have to pass through only a limited number of crossings.
WHO also asked Israeli authorities to ease pressure on medical supplies. Van De Weerdt argued that essential medicines should not be treated as dual-use items. This is WHO’s requested policy position, not an independently adjudicated legal conclusion.
What did the report say about crossings?
As of the UN Geneva report’s publication on 2 October 2026, it said approved aid could enter Gaza only through Kerem Shalom. Rafah was open for limited movement of people, including patients seeking medical treatment abroad. Four other main aid entry points—Kissufim, Gate 96, Erez and Erez West—were reported closed.
Those are dated conditions, not a guarantee of the routes available now. Crossing access and operating conditions can change; the details above describe what the report stated on its publication date.

In remarks dated 24 September 2026, WHO Director-General Tedros Ghebreyesus described Gaza’s health system as under extreme strain, with essential medicines, diagnostics, equipment and fuel in critically short supply. He said patients were unable to receive cancer treatment or regular dialysis, and highlighted risks to mothers and newborns, limited prosthetic and rehabilitation capacity, displacement, inadequate shelter, and disease risks associated with poor water and sanitation.
Tedros said only 19 of Gaza’s 36 hospitals were functioning even partially, and none fully functioning. He also reported that approximately 1.7 million people remained displaced. These are figures and conditions reported by WHO in 2026, not independently validated here. WHO’s 24 September 2026 remarks provide the organization’s account.

What other health and safety risks did WHO raise?
Van De Weerdt warned that shelter needs become more urgent as winter begins, citing exposure to cold and flooding. The UN Geneva report also relayed concerns about sanitation, possible disease outbreaks and limited public-health laboratory capacity. It reported that OCHA had warned of public-health risks from solid-waste accumulation in Gaza City, and that mine-action partners lacked permissions and equipment to remove unexploded ordnance identified during assessment missions.
These concerns were attributed in the report to WHO, OCHA and mine-action partners; they are not presented here as independent verification of conditions.
How should the aid-access figures be understood?
The operational questions raised by WHO are broader than whether a shipment crosses a border: whether it is approved, whether a route is available, whether it can move within Gaza, whether its contents match clinical priorities, and whether it reaches the facility or patient in time. The cited October report focuses on WHO’s criticism and requests; it does not provide a complete account of each step or establish the cause of each delay.
A separate joint statement by the heads of OCHA, UNICEF, UNOPS, UNRWA, WFP and WHO described a different period: on 7 April 2025, they said no commercial or humanitarian supplies had entered Gaza for over a month, with supplies piling up at crossing points. That statement also said supplies reached nearly every part of Gaza during a 60-day ceasefire period. These are historical comparisons about 2025, not evidence that conditions were unchanged in October 2026. The agencies’ 7 April 2025 joint statement documents that earlier period.
