A World Health Organization spokesperson said on Tuesday that three hospitals in Israeli-besieged Gaza had requested help with evacuating patients and said that planning was underway.
WHO spokesperson Christian Lindmeier said that the three hospitals were Al Shifa, from which a group of babies has already been rescued, Indonesian Hospital and Al Ahli Hospital.
He said such an event was a last resort.
"It's robbing the entire population of the north of the means to seek health (care)," he told a Geneva press briefing.
