Additional children are expected to be evacuated for cancer treatment as part of this initiative.

Key Points: 
  • Additional children are expected to be evacuated for cancer treatment as part of this initiative.
  • “I am relieved that children in vital need of cancer care have been able to leave the insecurity and uncertainty in Gaza and continue receiving life-saving treatment in Egypt and Jordan,” said Dr Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, the WHO Director-General.
  • Cancer care services are therefore severely limited, meaning it is critically urgent to transfer patients outside Gaza for treatment.
  • But these children receive only a portion of their cancer care within Gaza due to lack of some cancer services, and, therefore, require referrals to hospitals in the West Bank, including East Jerusalem, Egypt, Israel and Jordan for further treatment.
