www.who.intIn historic move, WHO Member States approve 20% funding increase and 2026–27 budgetIn a show of support for a sustainably financed World Health Organization, WHO Member States today approved a 20% increase in assessed contributions (membership dues) as they endorsed the Organization’s 2026–27 budget of US$ 4.2 billion. This is the second such 20% increase in assessed contributions to WHO, the previous being agreed as part of the 2024–25 budget. It comes as governments are facing financial constraints and economic headwinds and demonstrates Member States’ fundamental support for global health solidarity and the critical role of WHO.

bbc.com/news/articles/cdd25d9v Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, director-general of the #WHO, said the closure of #alawda meant there was no remaining functioning #hospital in the #NorthGaza governorate, "severing a critical lifeline for the people there".
#Israel is continuing its bombardment of #Gaza, which most #Palestinians are not currently able to leave, after a two-month ceasefire earlier this year.

While people start to look on malnourished and starving faces and bodies of Palestinians occupation continues the crime against health services.

"The Israeli military has ordered the forced evacuation of al-Awda Hospital in northern Gaza, the only remaining partially functioning hospital in the area, despite it being overwhelmed and operating under dire conditions amid the ongoing Israeli assault, the Ministry of Health said Thursday.

“Al-Awda is the only remaining partially functioning hospital in north Gaza,” Stephane Dujarric told reporters.

Between 1 and 22 May 2025, the World Health Organization (WHO) documented 29 Israeli attacks on #healthcare in the Gaza Strip, further disrupting access to health care and overburdening #hospitals that remain partially operational.

According to #WHO, at least 94 per cent of hospitals in the #Gaza Strip have been damaged or destroyed.

"The top health authorities of the U.S. and Argentina are launching what they call an “alternative international health system” separate from the World Health Organization (WHO).

On the first day of his second term, President Trump signed an executive starting the yearlong process of withdrawing the U.S. from the WHO. In February, Argentinian President Javier Milei followed suit."

Die Pockenkrankheit #MPox - übertragen durch Affen und Nagetiere - trat ursprünglich in West- und Zentralafrika auf. Vor 3 Jahren mehrten sich dann weltweit Fälle: Das Virus wird nun auch von Mensch zu Mensch übertragen. Auch durch eine international engere Zusammenarbeit kann das Virus bisher gut in Schach gehalten werden. Das liegt auch am neu gegründeten @WHO -Pandemie-Hub.
