Over 1,000 women and children requiring urgent medical attention will soon be evacuated from Gaza to European hospitals, the World Health Organization (WHO) announced Monday. 🏥 The move, described as a \"critical humanitarian effort\" by Dr. Hans Kluge, WHO’s Europe regional director, aims to address Gaza’s collapsing healthcare infrastructure amid ongoing crises.
🚨 Dr. Kluge emphasized the \"life-or-death\" urgency of the evacuations, particularly for patients needing cancer treatment, surgeries, or chronic disease care. \"These individuals cannot wait,\" he stated, highlighting partnerships with EU nations to fast-track medical transfers.
💔 Gaza’s hospitals have faced severe shortages of supplies and staff, with many facilities damaged or overwhelmed. The WHO-led evacuation—one of the largest since October—prioritizes children under 18 and women caregivers. Details on departure timelines and host countries remain under wraps, but officials confirm plans are \"accelerating.\"
🌍 The news has sparked hope among aid groups, with one volunteer calling it a \"ray of light\" for families trapped in dire conditions. Updates on the mission will be shared via WHO’s social channels.
