Yesterday, WHO evacuated 19 critically ill patients and 93 companions from #Gaza to #Italy for specialised medical care.

Grazie mille, Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani, and DPCgov for their generosity and solidarity.

We also thank Commissioner Hadja Lahbib and 🇪🇺 for their continued support.

We urge more countries to receive patients from Gaza, as over 16,500 people still need urgent medical care that is not available in the Strip. We also call for opening of all evacuation routes, particularly to West Bank, including East Jerusalem.
