Geneva: The World Health Organization said its global health emergencies logistics hub in Dubai was resuming operations on Friday after a pause caused by the war in the Middle East.
"One of our most immediate concerns is the disruption of humanitarian health supply chains," Hanan Balkhy, the UN health agency's Eastern Mediterranean regional chief, told a press conference in Geneva.
"After a temporary pause, WHO's Hub for Global Health Emergencies Logistics is today resuming operations," she said, speaking from Cairo.
She said the United Arab Emirates, in coordination with the UN's World Food Programme, had confirmed that it stood ready to facilitate urgent humanitarian shipments.
"More than 50 emergency supply requests across 25 countries are currently affected," said Balkhy.
