Patients evacuated from Gaza by Doctors Without Borders They ask the EU to take more
The organisation has reported that EU Member States have taken only 2% of evacuees so far this year and warned that more than 1,400 people have died while awaiting evacuation.
Médecins sans Frontières (MSF) has called ontheMember States of the European Union to "significantly" increase the reception of patients evacuated from the Gaza Strip, as the organisation has warned that more than 1,400 people have died while awaiting evacuation, although the number could be even higher.
Doctors report that EUMember States have taken in only 2% of people evacuated in 2026. In this regard, they stress that the poor response significantly reduces the chances of those in urgent need of treatment, endangering the lives of many people.
According to MSF, the need for medical evacuations has increased significantly as a result of the latest Israeli attacks on Gaza, along with the Organization's statement that thousands of people have not yet received the treatment they need, further aggravating the collapseof the health system.
The organization also alleges that the Israeli authorities have prevented the entry of medical and health personnel into Palestine since January.
Thousands of people in distress.
According to World Health Organization (WHO) data, 18,500 patients were in critical condition inApril, 4,000 of them children. According to WHO estimates, if the current pace is maintained, it would take ten years to reverse the backlog in medical evacuations in the Gaza Strip.
