W.H.O. Medics Evacuate Gaza Hospital Patients

A humanitarian convoy led by the Palestine Red Crescent Society and the United Nations evacuated 24 patients from Al Amal hospital in Khan Younis.

“Behind me, you can see the ambulances from the Palestine Red Crescent Society. We’re here on a mission to come back to refer critical patients for more medical attention. We managed to come back today, despite the act of fighting in the area, despite the treacherous, treacherous roads. We got stuck twice. “The health system in Gaza — as this hospital is being torn into pieces, unable to sustain itself and unable to provide basic, essential clinical care to patients and people in need. We only see the tip of the iceberg — the injured patients, the trauma patients. But still, we have a huge number of other patients with chronic disease and other problems that cannot get the health care they deserve because of this fragmentation and degradation of the health system.”
