Moving vulnerable Gaza hospital patients ‘impossible’: WHO
The World Health Organization (WHO) has stated that moving the most vulnerable patients from Gaza’s Al-Shifa hospital is an “impossible task”. The WHO’s statement comes after criticism from the Israeli mission in Geneva, which accused the organization, along with the UN humanitarian agency OCHA and the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC), of not doing enough to facilitate the transfer of patients from the hospital. The WHO argues that moving the fragile patients would result in their deaths and that hospitals should be safe havens protected under international humanitarian law.
