GENEVA: World Health Organization chief Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said late on Sunday that a WHO-Palestine Red Crescent operation had managed to resupply two hospitals in northern Gaza .
The WHO regularly criticises the obstacles the Israeli authorities put in the way of these supply and patient evacuation missions. "One-off missions are not enough. There is a sustained need for resupplying hospitals to keep them functioning," Tedros said, reiterating his call"for sustained facilitation of humanitarian missions and ensuring safety for humanitarian staff; and for a ceasefire".According to the WHO, 13 patients in critical condition were transferred from Kamal Adwan hospital to Al-Shifa hospital in Gaza City.
Six other patients who had been transferred earlier from al-Awda Hospital to Kamal Adwan were also taken to Al-Shifa, along with those accompanying them.
