World Health Organisation chief Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus has hailed the medical evacuation of 21 cancer-stricken children from Gaza, but highlighted that there remain 10,000 patients still in need of the same, Al Jazeera reports.
The evacuation of the 21 children, the first since Israel closed the Rafah crossing in May, was conducted in coordination with the WHO and three American charities.
“We appeal for facilitated medical evacuation via all possible routes, including Rafah and Karem Shalom, to Egypt, the West Bank, East Jerusalem, and from there to other countries when needed,” Tedros said in a post on X.
