The World Health Organisation has urged Israel to withdraw its evacuation order for hospitals in northern Gaza.
“There are patients who are there that cannot simply be moved, many there are on mechanical ventilators.
“There are also newborns on incubators, people in unstable conditions, and it’s very difficult to move them,” WHO spokesman, Tarik Jašarević said on Monday.
He said the task was “almost impossible.”
“We are calling on Israel to reconsider this order,” Jašarević said.
So far, four trucks carrying surgical and dressing materials as well as medicines for chronic illnesses have been brought into Gaza through the Rafah border crossing, the spokesman said.
“But that is not nearly enough.”
More trucks are waiting on the Egyptian side, but there are no security guarantees that supplies will be delivered.
This comes after a bombing at a Gaza hospital last week ‘killed 500’ people and trapped many more under rubble.
The Israeli army claims that intelligence information revealed that the strike that hit al-Ahli Hospital in Gaza City was a rocket misfired by Palestinian Islamic Jihad militants.
Despite the ”IDF giving proof they didn’t trigger the blast,” Hamas lambasted Israel’s ‘proof’ regarding who is to blame for the deadly Gaza hospital bombing as a ‘outrageous lie.”
