AhlulBayt News Agency: The Director of the World Health Organization (WHO), Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, said that “more than 12,000 people in Gaza still require medical evacuation.”

“We continue to urge Israel to increase the approval rate for medical evacuations; expedite the process of approvals for medical evacuations; and allow all possible corridors and border crossings to be used for safe medical evacuations,” he said in a post on X platform.

Earlier today, UNRWA said that “hospitals in Gaza have become death traps.”

UNRWA explained that families in Gaza are torn apart, children are dying of cold, and hunger is cutting lives short, demanding an immediate ceasefire in the Strip.

Only 14 out of 36 hospitals in Gaza are now operating, while facing a severe shortage of supplies, according to the Palestinian Ministry of Health.
