“Today, 29 child patients were evacuated from Gaza to Jordan for specialized medical treatment, with 43 companions. Most of the children are in need of trauma, cancer and ophthalmological care,” Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, Director-General of the World Health Organization (WHO), said on X.
“This was the first WHO-supported medical evacuation to Jordan since the ceasefire. We thank the government of Jordan for their support.
Approximately 12,000–14,000 people still require medical evacuation. WHO continues to call for increased approvals through all possible routes, including the restoration of medical referrals to the West Bank, including East Jerusalem,” the WHO Chief added.
