A WHO-led mission evacuated 31 premature babies from al-Shifa Hospital to southern Gaza after the hospital’s neonatal unit could no longer safely care for them. The babies were transferred with medical teams and family members; some needed intensive care. The evacuation made visible how siege, loss of power, fuel and supplies, and military operations around hospitals threatened the survival of patients unable to move independently.
