In an urgent humanitarian effort, up to 1,000 women and children from Gaza requiring medical attention will soon be evacuated to Europe, according to the head of the World Health Organization’s Europe branch.
Announced on Monday, the initiative seeks to provide critical healthcare services to those most vulnerable amid ongoing challenges in the region. The evacuation underscores the international community’s commitment to addressing the pressing health needs of Gazan residents.
