WHO chief Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus told journalists the Al-Ahli and Patient Friendly Hospitals in northern Gaza are the latest facilities unable to function due to fighting nearby.
He said patients from Al-Ahli have been evacuated to the Indonesian Hospital which is now operating at three times its capacity.
“Over 10,000 patients still need medical evacuation for treatment that cannot be provided in Gaza,” he said, stressing that “multiple evacuation corridors are needed urgently to the West Bank, Egypt and Jordan.”
Tedros noted that almost the entire population of Gaza is facing high levels of acute food insecurity, with nearly one in four at risk of starvation.
Meanwhile, very few supplies are entering the enclave, and only five WHO trucks were allowed in last week.
