๐Ÿ“… 18 February 2024 ๐Ÿ“ Palestine

WHO, OCHA and the Palestine Red Crescent Society transferred 32 critical patients, including two children, from Nasser Medical Complex on 18 and 19 February. The facility had become non-functional following the raid and siege. Teams described high-risk travel through active hostilities, delays in access and the danger to patients requiring continuous care. The evacuation saved access to further treatment for those transferred but underscored how military operations and access restrictions forced medically fragile people to move during fighting.
