The member states of the World Health Organization (WHO) have adopted a resolution demanding immediate medical access to Gaza.
In an unusual move, the WHO's executive board met in emergency session to discuss what its director-general Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus warned was a health disaster, with many injured and a high risk of disease.
The resolution calls for immediate and unhindered access to aid and for those struggling to respect international law. This means no attacks on hospitals or health workers.
It also demands that all detainees, hostages and Palestinians have access to medical care.
The WHO has warned that the terms of the resolution will be virtually impossible to meet without a ceasefire, something the United States vetoed at the UN Security Council on Friday.
Earlier, Ghebreyesus said that "the impact of the conflict on health is catastrophic", adding that "Gaza's health system is on its knees and collapsing".
