Gaza, MINA – The World Health Organization (WHO) has announced that more than 900 Palestinians, including children, have died in Gaza while awaiting urgent medical evacuation.
WHO Director-General Tedros Ghebreyesus stated that approximately 16,500 patients, 4,000 of whom are children, still critically need transfers outside the sealed-off Strip, warning that each day of delay is a “death sentence for the most vulnerable.”
In a related development, reports on Sunday revealed that Israeli authorities plan to deport Palestinian patients from Gaza who are currently receiving treatment in Jerusalem hospitals, along with their companions and children born in the city.
The deportation, scheduled for Monday and involving buses escorted by military vehicles, targets patients from al-Makassed and Augusta Victoria hospitals.
