At the moment, it is not possible to evacuate hospital patients in the Gaza Strip, the World Health Organization (WHO) branch in Palestine said in a statement. The text of the statement is provided by RIA Novosti.
The impossibility of evacuating hospital patients is due to ongoing hostilities and related threats. Earlier, Israeli authorities called on the population of northern Gaza to move to the south of the enclave.
“Hospitals in the north continue to receive evacuation orders. WHO once again emphasizes that the evacuation of hospitals is impossible without endangering the lives of patients,” the message follows.
WHO also notes a shortage of medicines and fuel necessary for the operation of emergency services.
Earlier, the President of the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC), Mirjana Spoljaric, said she was shocked by the level of suffering among civilians in Gaza. According to her, this is the result of a “catastrophic failure” and this situation cannot be tolerated.
