Expressing deep gratitude to the Italian government and healthcare workers for their support and services, Ghebreyesus said: “We hope that over 10,000 patients in Gaza who need urgent and specialized medical care will be swiftly evacuated through all possible routes, including the West Bank and East Jerusalem.
