Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleUp to 1,000 women and children needing medical care will shortly be evacuated from Gaza to Europe, the head of the World Health Organization’s Europe branch says.
Israel “is committed to 1,000 more medical evacuations within the next months to the European Union,” Hans Kluge says in an interview with AFP, adding that the evacuations would be facilitated by the WHO and the European countries involved.
He says the evacuations will be facilitated by the WHO — the United Nations’ health agency — and the European countries involved.
The WHO Europe has already facilitated 600 medical evacuations from Gaza to seven European countries since the latest war began there in October 2023.
