Amjad Al-Shawa, Director of the Palestinian NGO Network in Gaza, stated that over 15,000 patients and wounded individuals are in urgent need of medical evacuation from the Gaza Strip.

Al-Shawa called for immediate international action to save the lives of the sick and injured, and to send field hospitals into the besieged territory.

The Israeli onslaught has resulted in more than 61,776 martyrs, 154,906 injuries, over 9,000 missing persons, hundreds of thousands of displaced individuals, and a famine that has claimed the lives of many—including dozens of children.
