@who and partners deployed an international emergency medical team and evacuated a child from Kamal Adwan hospital in northern
#Gaza today. The emergency medical team - the first in northern Gaza - includes one general surgeon, one emergency doctor, one orthopedic surgeon and one anesthetist.
The evacuated patient is 12 years old with cystic fibrosis and in the next few days will be transferred abroad for further treatment.
The hospital is serving 120 patients at the moment, with about 700 patients circulating daily, including those who are referred from Al-Ahli hospital.
The pressure on health workers operating without relief is unimaginable.
Hospitals must be protected, and humanitarian partners must be allowed safe, sustained access to provide health aid, food, fuel and support in restoring the facilities to their full capacity. Ceasefire NOW!
