UN Warns 12,000 in Gaza Need Urgent Medical Evacuation as Rafah Crossing Reopens
Briefly

The UN has warned that more than 10,000 Palestinians in Gaza urgently need medical evacuation, with 2,500 children facing imminent death. The World Health Organization emphasizes the need for expedited evacuations, as many patients, such as 2-year-old Habiba al-Askari, are left stranded due to delays, risking their lives without necessary treatment. Despite permission obtained for treatment, bureaucratic impediments from Israel exacerbate the situation, prompting calls for immediate action for these vulnerable patients to ensure their survival and return to their families.
The World Health Organization (WHO) has called for an accelerated pace of evacuations through all possible routes to enable patients to receive vital medical care.
2,500 Palestinian children are at imminent risk of death and need evacuation urgently; many of these patients have been left to languish due to delays.
