WHO: Over 15,000 Critically Ill Palestinians Trapped in Gaza as Israel Blocks Evacuation

Gaza Herald – The World Health Organization (WHO) warned that more than 15,000 Gaza patients, including 3,800 children, are waiting for urgent medical evacuation while Israel keeps the Rafah crossing closed, violating the ceasefire terms.

WHO Chief Dr. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said only 41 patients and 145 companions have been evacuated, calling the blockade a catastrophic denial of healthcare amid the ongoing genocide in Gaza.

Hospitals across Gaza are collapsing, and doctors warn that thousands will die without treatment as Israel continues to use medical deprivation as a weapon against civilians.
