SadaNews - The World Health Organization has warned of the deteriorating health situation in the Gaza Strip, confirming that over 15,600 patients need urgent medical evacuation for treatment outside the sector.

The organization explained that more than 15,000 individuals have had limbs amputated as a result of the recent war, calling for enhanced monitoring of the outbreak of diseases and viruses due to the deteriorating health conditions and damaged infrastructure.
