The World Health Organization (WHO) will hold an extraordinary session of its Executive Board on Dec. 10 to discuss health conditions in the Occupied Palestinian territory, a document from the U.N. global health agency showed on Monday.

Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus had convened the session after receiving a request from 14 members of the WHO's board, the WHO document said. A WHO spokesperson did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
