The Director-General of the World Health Organization, Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, stated on Wednesday that more than 14,800 Palestinian patients in the Gaza Strip are in urgent need of specialized medical care, calling for the acceleration of medical evacuations.
In a post on his official social media account, the Director-General confirmed that the organization supported the medical evacuation of 15 critically ill children, along with 42 of their relatives, from Gaza this morning.
The UN official added, “More than 14,800 patients in the Gaza Strip are still in urgent need of specialized medical care,” calling for more countries to “take measures to receive patients and expedite medical evacuations by all possible means.”
Since October 7, 2023, the Zionist occupation has been committing genocide in Gaza, including killing, starvation, destruction, and displacement, ignoring international calls and orders from the International Court of Justice to halt it.
