GENEVA June 29. 2024 (Saba) -The World Health Organization confirmed on Friday that more than ten thousand Palestinians need medical evacuation from the Gaza Strip, to receive treatment.
WHO spokesman Tariq Yasarevich said that more than ten thousand people need to be evacuated and receive medical care outside Gaza, adding that six thousand of them suffer from trauma, and more than two thousand suffer from chronic diseases.
The spokesperson of World Health explained that since the closure of the Rafah crossing in the southern Gaza Strip, no medical evacuation took place until yesterday, as 21 children with cancer were evacuated, stressing the need to reopen the Rafah crossing and any other border crossing to get patients out so that their lives remain safe.
It is noteworthy that the Zionist enemy forces had occupied the Palestinian side of the Rafah crossing, before burning and destroying it, following their ground invasion of the Rafah governorate, southern Gaza Strip, on the seventh of last May.
