00:00Welcome back from the South. We now go to the Middle East, specifically to Palestine, where more than 14,800 patients in Gaza are still in urgent need of specialized medical treatment, according to the World Health Organization.
00:14The WHO Director General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus calls on the international community to act quickly and offer to accept patients and also for medical evaluations and evacuations to be expedited by all possible routes.
00:30The call came as the WHO announced it had facilitated the medical evacuation of 15 critically ill children to Jordan on Wednesday morning, accompanied by 42 companions.
00:43It is important to highlight that the WHO has repeatedly expressed concern about the overwhelmed and deteriorating health system in Gaza as hospitals struggle to cope with mounting casualties and severe shortages of medical supplies due to the Israeli genocide.
