Impossible to relocate vulnerable patients from north Gaza: WHO

The World Health Organization (WHO) says local health authorities in Gaza had informed it that it was not possible to move vulnerable patients from hospitals in the north of the Gaza Strip.

“There are severely ill people whose injuries mean their only chances of survival is being on life support, such as mechanical ventilators,” said WHO spokesperson Tarik Jasarevic.

“So moving those people is a death sentence. Asking health workers to do so is beyond cruel.”
