2. 'Nowhere safe' for Palestinian patients to go amid Israel's hospital evacuation push: UN official

Lisa Doughten of the UN humanitarian office (OCHA) says “life hangs by a thread” for premature Palestinian newborns and patients relying on dialysis at hospital in the Gaza Strip that are facing a lack of fuel.

“Some 9,000 cancer patients are not receiving adequate care,” she told the Security Council, expressing concern over the Israeli military’s warnings to evacuate health care facilities in the besieged enclave.

“There is nowhere safe for these patients to go, and for those on life-support and babies on incubators, moving will certainly be a death sentence.”
