World Health Organisation chief Dr Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus has praised the medical evacuation of sick children from Gaza, but said 10,000 patients are still in need of care. About 20 children left Gaza on Thursday to receive treatment, in the first medical evacuation since Israel closed the Rafah border crossing in May. “We appeal for facilitated medical evacuation via all possible routes, including Rafah and Karem Shalom, to Egypt, the West Bank, East Jerusalem, and from there to other countries when needed,” Dr Tedros said on X.
