00:17 with President Abbas two days ago.
00:20 And he raised with President Abbas the effort of the Secretary General to have humanitarian
00:30 corridors and to address the extremely critical and catastrophic situation of the civilians
00:38 in the Gaza Strip and to provide them of the needed materials in terms of electricity,
00:46 fuel, food, medicine, water, and so on and so forth.
00:55 The WHO is active and it's raising the alarm that there has to be access to the Gaza Strip
01:03 to provide medical and humanitarian assistance.
