The World Health Organization (WHO) called on more countries to receive and treat patients from the Gaza Strip, following the medical evacuation of a group of patients, most of them children, to Jordan.
WHO Director-General, Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, said Wednesday in a post on his official X account: 'Today, WHO led the medical evacuation of 35 patients, mostly children, from Gaza to Jordan, accompanied by 72 family members.'
'We are grateful to the government of Jordan for its continued support and for providing specialized care to critically ill patients,' Ghebreyesus added.
Additionally, he stated: 'More than 10,000 people in Gaza still need medical evacuation. We urge more countries to step forward to accept patients for medical evacuations - lives depend on it. There are many more waiting.'
