“This brings the total of functional hospitals to Gaza at only 14 … The situation in the remaining eight hospitals and a citykeepers in the city is essential,” said WHO Tarik Jasarevic spokesperson.

Development comes as Israeli forces continue to enter the city of Gaza with the declared goal of disloding the Hamas fighters who are based there. At the same time, repeated Israeli defense evacuation orders were issued to the communities of Gaza City, deractive hundreds of thousands of people and affecting hundreds of health establishments.

“Even if hospitals are not invited to evacuate, there is a lack of access, there is violence just nearby and which can put them out of service”, ” Jasarevic told journalists in Geneva.

The key role of health care of the city

Gaza City forms the backbone of the Gaza Strip Health System, as almost half of all the enclave campaign hospitals and hospitals are based there.

“South hospitals are overwhelmed and cannot absorb more”, ” Who warned in a declaration on Friday which noted that the remaining hospitals of the enclave include eight in Gaza City, three in Deir Al Balah and three in Khan Younis. None works at full capacity, said the United Nations Health Agency.

The situation in the remaining eight hospitals of Gaza City and a field hospital is “critical”, with medical teams “overwhelmed by the influx of victims resulting from strikes”, in addition to having to treat non -traumatic patients.

The four hospitals in North Gaza has been out of service since September 1 are the Children’s Hospital Al Ranti, the ophthalmic hospital, the St. John Eye hospital and Hamad hospital for rehabilitation and prostheses.

Which describes the Hamad hospital as one of the three main rehabilitation establishments specializing in the Gaza Strip. It served 250 external patients with rehabilitation services, in addition to providing medical care to injured people while asking North Gaza help at its trauma stabilization point, with around 200 patients served daily.

Devastating attacks

The Al Ranti Hospital underwent serious damage caused by a direct strike on September 16, while 80 patients were inside the establishment. It is the only pediatric hospital specializing in the Gaza Strip. No deaths were reported in the attack, but there have been significant damage to the water tanks on the roof, communication systems and medical equipment.

Half of the patients fled, while around forty people stay inside, including four children in the intensive care unit and eight newborns, according to the WHO. Most of his medical equipment have been transferred to Al Helou, as a Sahaba and friendly patients for patients, all in Gaza City.

In addition to the latest hospitals, the situation is “critical” at the remaining eight hospitals in Gaza City and a field hospital. They are all “overwhelmed by the influx of victims resulting from strikes”, weak on supplies and forced to treat patients on the soil.

Highlight critical shortages in blood units, blood bags and transfusion sets “the services could stop in a few days, without urgent reconstruction”, which insisted.

According to the United Nations Health Agency, all dozens of attacks reported health care between September 7 and 17 in Gaza City, with Khan Younis on 12.

Drugs required without delay

“More violence only means more injured people. This means more victims, more dead and it means less access ”, Mr. Jasarevic said. “The inhabitants of Gaza suffer from multiple trips; There are shortages of medical supplies, there are access problems for both humanitarian workers, for health workers, also for patients. ”

The WHO spokesperson reiterated the call for the health agency to urgent evacuation of the thousands of seriously patient patients who need specialized care.

“More than 15,000 people … must be evacuated for medical reasons and evacuations are really very, very slowly,” he said. “Again, we cannot call on a ceasefire, calling on unhindered access so that we can try to support what remains of the health system in Gaza with medical supplies, with emergency medical teams and with everything else.”

The emergency reflects a global reality – that the UN risks losing relevance to today’s polycririsy – of the blatant contempt for international standards and endless conflicts to climatic disasters and the crushing of debt charges.

The leaders of Africa founded their calls in lived experience, describing constant difficulties with extremely fragile economies, recurring droughts, Jevénile Private Opportunity populations and the persistent imbalance of power within international institutions.

Thursday, the global message was clear: without reform, the promise of Charter of the United Nations cannot be filled, and a low nations of the United Nations cannot serve “we peoples”.

Guinea-Bissau: We are equal

President Umaro Sissoco Packó de Guinea-Bissau underlined the unique role of the UN as a forum where all nations, large or small, can speak as equals.

He described a world assaulted by conflicts, inequalities and development status, noting that the United Nations agencies – of the United Nations Children’s Fund (Unicef) on the global food program (Wfp) – Support hope and dignity but cannot succeed without systemic reform.

He called the Security advice To develop, democratize and offer a real place for the world South, arguing that faith in multilateralism can only be rebuilt if developing countries see their voices shape decisions. In his words:

“The legitimacy, strength and future of the UN reside in the inclusion and full participation of all of us in deliberations and decision -making.”

Ethiopia: no shortcuts to true justice

The president of Ethiopia, Taye Atskeselassie Amde, made an energetic appeal to the reform, declaring that the UN must overcome the “systemic problems”, including a lack of impartiality, selectivity and double standard.

He warned that military accumulations, island policies and retirement of development and climate commitments constitute global threats that undermine peace between nations.

While Ethiopia has reached important national development stages, Mr. Amde warned that these successes will not hide systemic obstacles such as debt, coercive trade measures and the absence of Africa from decision -making on the Security Council.

“There is no shortcut or half-solution for this long-standing prosecution of justice,” he said, putting pressure for the cancellation of the debt and the complete inclusion of Africa in global governance.

She supervised the difficulties of South Sudan in the broader failure of the international community to support post-conflict recovery, emphasizing peace, humanitarian aid and space to consolidate institutions without undue interference.

She called for a stronger commitment to solutions directed by Africans, arguing that the credibility of the UN depends on the most vulnerable support.

“We all know that it is better together. It is better together for us on a national scale, it is better together for us in the world, ”she said.

Botswana: Listen to the voice of Africa

President Duma Gideon Boko of Botswana has delivered a message anchored both in gratitude and urgent calls for action, recognizing the founding vision of the UN and emphasizing the continuous inequalities of the continent.

He relied on the experience of Botswana on the use of the wealth of diamonds to finance schools and hospitals, he underlined the fragility of dependence on resources and the need for global partnerships in renewable energies, technology and sustainable agriculture. For semi-arid nations-like Botswana-he warned, climate change is a current reality.

The strongest advocacy of President Boko concerned the UN reform: “The voice of Africa is not heard.”

He demanded a permanent seat of the Security Council, arguing that without her, the UN cannot claim to be really universal.

▶ Look at the address.

At the heart of his speech was the urgency of freeing himself from spiral violence, in parallel with a call to close what he described as two centuries of historical injustice.

Laurent Saint-Cyr painted a dark image: murders, gang rapes, famine and more than a million displaced people.

“It is a war between criminals who want to impose violence as a social order and an unarmed population who fights to preserve human dignity,” he said.

The armed gangs now control a large part of the capital, Port-au-Prince, and continue to distribute terror nationally.

Thin stretched support mission

In the past 15 months, a multinational security support mission led by Kenyan (MSS) – authorized by the Security advice But depends on voluntary contributions – tried to restore stability.

Of the 2,500 police officers initially promised, less than 1,000 were deployed. While the force secured Haiti’s main airport and reopened certain roads, it did not interrupt the Port-au-Prince slide near anarchy.

“Their bravery was not sufficient to contain the crisis,” said Mr. Saint-Cyr to the United Nations General Assembly.

Press a new “deletion force”

With the MSS mandate which expires in early October, Haiti-supported by the United States and Panama-urges the creation of a gang suppression force of 5,500 people.

Washington wants the new mission to be mandated under chapter VII of the Charter of the United Nationsallowing the use of force against threats to peace.

The proposal includes a new United Nations support office in Haiti and a clear mandate: neutralize gangs, secure key infrastructure and restore minimum institutional stability.

“Haiti wants peace. Haiti awaits peace. Haiti has the right of peace, “said Saint-Cyr, warning against a security vacuum if the current mission ends. A vote would be expected in the coming days.

Unfinished political transition

Safety alone, however, will not resolve the bustle of Haiti. Since the assassination of President Jenel Moïse in July 2021, the country has been without elected government. Successive interim administrations have failed to restore order.

The Transitional Council, formed in 2024 after a compromise negotiated by the Community of the Caribbean Nations (Caricom), is responsible for organizing elections.

Saint-Cyr said that more than 85% of polling stations had been identified and that $ 65 million obtained. “The Haitian people must be able to choose their leaders,” he said, calling for free and credible elections essential to end the provisional state.

The “ransom” of independence

The Haitian chief also put pressure for France’s repairs, recalling the 1825 order which forced Haiti to pay 150 million golden francs in exchange for the recognition of independence-a “ransom” which drained its economy until 1947, he told the delegates.

“Our voice is raised to demand repairs, not in a spirit of revenge, but with a concern for justice and truth,” he said. The French National Assembly recognized injustice in June and Haiti has since set up a national committee for repairs and restitution.

“France now has the opportunity to write a new page in its history with Haiti,” insisted Mr. Saint-Cyr, echoing broader debates on colonial repairs.

Beyond historical reflections, the Haitian chief said that Urgent was necessary to slow down the power of gangs. “Each passing day, benefits the suffocating Haiti gangs,” he warned. “If the Security Council does not act quickly, the country may sink more in chaos.”
