“We need more routes for medical emergency evacuation, we would like to see Kerem Shalom [Karem Abu Salem] and other routes also opened where patients can then be referred to the referral hospitals in East Jerusalem and the West Bank,”
Peeperkorn added. At least 37,658 people killed and 86,237 wounded in Israel’s war on Gaza since October 7.
