A World Health Organisation spokesperson has said three hospitals in Israeli-besieged Gaza have requested help with evacuating patients and said that planning was underway.

WHO spokesperson Christian Lindmeier said that the three hospitals were Al-Shifa, from which a group of babies has already been rescued, Indonesian Hospital and Al-Ahli Hospital.

He said such an event was a last resort. “It’s robbing the entire population of the north of the means to seek health (care),” he told a Geneva press briefing.
