The WHO representative in the Palestinian territories Rik Peeperkorn pleads for thousands of people in desperate need of medical care to be allowed to leave #Gaza, in what he says would be a “game-changer.”
00:00WHL carried out, together with our great partners, the Palestinian Red Presence Society, the first medical evacuation since the Steve's fire.
00:1041 critical patients, all children, and 145 companions were evacuated to various countries.
00:17According to the estimates, the Ministry of Health Medical Special is still around 15,000 plus people, of which almost 4,000 children need medical evacuation.
00:27All medical corridors need to be opened.
00:31The most important one would be the reopening of the West Bank, including in Jerusalem, referral hospitals and referral routes.
00:41It is vital and it's the most cost-effective route.
00:45If that route opens, it would really be a little game changer.
