Gaza Evacuation
WHO Medical Evacuation Appeal
Every day adults and children in Gaza wait for urgent medical evacuation, from life-saving treatment to prosthetic rehabilitation. WHO is organizing and supporting medical evacuations in Gaza at scale.
What is the goal?
More countries step forward to accept patients and medical evacuation to the West Bank, including East Jerusalem, is restored.
With famine now confirmed in parts of Gaza and trauma cases rising daily, the need for urgent medical evacuations grows every day. WHO is leading large-scale medical evacuations under the harshest conditions, where access is restricted, resources are scarce, and healthcare workers and WHO staff risk their lives to get patients to hospitals abroad for the care they need to survive. They need your support today.
What's WHO's role?
Every evacuation is tracked, reported, and coordinated with the Palestinian Ministry of Health (MoH), partner organizations, and the governments of countries receiving patients for treatment, ensuring transparency and efficiency in reaching as many patients in need as possible.
Communicating with patients to collect the necessary medical records and ensure documentation is complete. Arranging the medical and logistical components for the safe transport of patients. Obtaining security clearances and coordinating with host countries. Sharing the list of patients offered treatment and approved for medical evacuation by host countries to Israeli authorities for security clearance. Managing patient transfer from north to south Gaza, including overnight stay and medical care at collection points and ensuring safe transit outside the Gaza Strip.
WHO, any other UN organization or any other entity does not select, prioritize or approve patients and companions for medical evacuation. This is solely the responsibility of MoH. WHO strictly follows the approved patient list and case prioritization provided by the MoH.
