“Moving these people is a death sentence. Asking health workers to do something like this is more than brutal,” said a representative of the Organization
The World Health Organization (WHO) said today that local health authorities in Gaza have informed it that it is impossible to transport vulnerable patients from hospitals in northern Gaza after the Israeli army called on civilians to move south within 24 hours.
“They are seriously ill patients whose injuries mean their only chance for survival is to be on mechanical support,” said WHO spokesman Tarik Jasarevic.
“So moving these people is a death sentence. Asking health workers to do something like this is beyond brutal,” he said.
The Organization is also calling for a humanitarian corridor to be established immediately as a “humanitarian disaster” is imminent.
