Today WHO supported the medical evacuation of 32 child and 6 adult patients from #Gaza, alongside 99 companions:

-25 child and 6 adult patients were evacuated to Italy
-5 child patients were evacuated to Belgium
-2 child patients were being evacuated to Türkiye

We thank European Commission Civil Protection and Humanitarian Aid Operations and all governments that have shown solidarity with Gaza’s critical patients by offering them specialized care.

However, more than 14,800 patients still need lifesaving medical care that is not available in Gaza. We call on more countries to step forward and offer support, and for referral routes to the West Bank, including East Jerusalem, to be restored before it is too late.

Ceasefire! Peace is the best medicine.
