WHO Director-General Dr. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus shared this update on Friday, highlighting the severe medical crisis caused by the 14-month-long Israeli military assault in Gaza.

“On Wednesday, WHO (World Health Organisation) and its partners supported the medical evacuation of eight children and six of their companions from Gaza into Jordan,” UN spokesman, Stephane Dujarric, said at a news conference, adding that those evacuated will go to the US to receive special treatment.
