WHO: Thousands in Gaza awaiting evacuation
Thousands of patients in the Gaza Strip are still waiting for medical evacuation despite the ceasefire currently in effect. Nearly 13,000 people have been evacuated since October 2023, including more than 6,000 children, with evacuations occurring at a rate of 3 to 4 times per week. The health situation has deteriorated significantly due to the ongoing Israeli blockade since 2006, which has limited evacuation operations to only a few instances since February of this year. Since the Israeli attacks began in October 2023, more than 73,000 Palestinians have been killed and over 174,000 injured, with widespread destruction of infrastructure and a worsening humanitarian crisis.
