Hyderabad: The ongoing Israeli onslaught on Palestine has not spared even the essential healthcare system with as many as 600 patients and healthcare workers forced to leave the vital Al-Aqsa Hospital in the Middle Area of Gaza, Director General of the World Health Organisation (WHO), Dr Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said on Monday. In an elaborate post on X, the WHO chief said that the World Health Organisation has received troubling reports of increasing hostilities and ongoing evacuation orders near the vital Al-Aqsa Hospital in the Middle Area of Gaza which according to the facility’s director forced over 600 patients and most health workers to leave.
“Their locations are not currently known. Earlier today WHO and UNOCHA visited Al-Aqsa and saw large numbers of wounded people being brought in for urgent treatment,” he said. He said that the health facility reported immense needs, especially health workers, medical supplies and beds. “But staff said their greatest need was for their hospital, and its staff, patients and families there, to be protected from strikes and hostilities,” he added.
