UN reports on complex situation in Gaza

United Nations, Dec 23 (Prensa Latina) Around 16,000 patients are currently waiting to be evacuated from Gaza Strip, and restrictions on the delivery of humanitarian aid continue, the United Nations (UN) reported.

Through its website, the multilateral organization reiterated its concern about the collapse of the health system in the Palestinian territory, which is under attack by Israel, and called for respect for the work of its teams on the ground.

According to the World Health Organization, more than 10,600 seriously ill patients have been evacuated to date, including 5,600 children, but many need to be transferred to places where they can receive adequate care.

For its part, Gaza Ministry of Health reported that at least 1,092 patients died while awaiting evacuation between July 2024 and November 28, 2025, a figure that could be lower than the actual number.

Recently, UN spokesperson Stepphane Dujarric warned that, despite the ceasefire, reports of airstrikes, shelling, and gunfire continue to arrive, resulting in more casualties and further disruptions to humanitarian operations.

He also noted that, faced with an extreme shortage of shelter, many families are taking refuge in partially or severely damaged buildings to protect themselves from the weather, several of which have collapsed.

The UN reiterated its call for Israel to lift all restrictions on the entry of aid, including shelter materials.
