• 24 November, WHO, UN partners (UNOCHA, UNRWA, UNDSS) and PRCS safely transferred 22 patients suffering from gunshot, wounds, amputations and burns in addition to 19 companions from Al-Ahli hospital in northern Gaza to European Gaza Hospital in the south.

• 28 November, a joint mission including WHO, UNRWA, UNDSS and PRCS transferred 17 patients (11 in critical condition) and 11 companions from Al-Ahli Arab Hospital in northern Gaza to European Gaza Hospital in the south, which is now triple its normal bed capacity.

• Al-Ahli Arabi is the sole facility in northern Gaza still receiving trauma cases. The hospital is currently stretched well beyond its normal capacity and is experiencing an acute shortage of medical supplies, fuel, water, and food hindering its ability to effectively treat patients.

• According to Israeli authorities, over 1200 Israelis and foreign nationals have been killed, 5431 injured and 239 being held hostage since the hostilities started.
