GENEVA (Reuters) â U.N. agencies appealed on Friday for urgent medical supplies and access to Gaza, saying thousands of Palestinian injuries risk âoverwhelmingâ some health facilities after 11 days of violence.
A truce took hold on Friday after the heaviest fighting in years between Israel and Palestinian militants, although aid officials warned that it would take Gaza years to recover from the latest flare-up, the fourth conflict since 2008.
World Health Organization spokeswoman Margaret Harris told a virtual U.N. briefing focused on the impact of the violence in the Palestinian territories that some 8,538 injuries had been reported on top of 257 fatalities, saying they risked âoverwhelming health facilitiesâ.

Ahmad has been making pyjamas in an Aleppo basement since he was 10 years old.
He wanted to be an engineer, but now he works 12 hours a day, six days a week as a tailor to earn the equivalent of $2.50 each week to support his family.
Ahmad lost his childhood to the conflict that has raged in Syria since March 15, 2011 when President Bashar al-Assad suppressed calls for his governmentâs removal, unchaining a complex war that drew in the Islamic State terror group, opposition factions and international firepower.
Ahmad works as a tailor in a small pyjama factory in Aleppo, Syria, from 8am to 8pm six days a week.
