The Executive Board of the World Health Organization condemned the repeated and direct attacks on health facilities and medical personnel, considering them a grave and serious violation of international humanitarian law and the Geneva Conventions. The resolution stressed the urgent need to immediately open safe, unimpeded, and immediate humanitarian corridors. The WHO Executive Board decided to maintain a state of 'continuous health emergency' in the occupied Palestinian territories, including East Jerusalem, following the vote on the resolution, which passed with 27 out of 34 members. This clear international stance reflects the scale of the humanitarian and health collapse in the Gaza Strip. One member, Israel, voted against the resolution, four abstained, and three were absent during the voting.
