Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus says on X that NGO International Medical Corps “has moved its 160-bed field hospital from Rafah al-Mawasi to its existing facility in Deir el-Balah”.
This, he said, leaves the Red Cross field hospital in al-Mawasi, adjacent to Rafah on Gaza’s coast, as the only fully functioning healthcare facility in the area.
The UAE’s field hospital in Rafah continues to provide services, he said, but due to ongoing hostilities, it is becoming increasingly difficult to reach.
“Insecurity and ongoing closure of the Rafah crossing continue to compromise our ability to get supplies and staff into and around Gaza to keep health services – a life line for Gazans – functional,” he said.
He also reiterated calls for a ceasefire.
