The World Health Organization said that more than 100 injured and sick people, including children, suffering from serious injuries and chronic diseases, will be evacuated from Gaza tomorrow, Wednesday.

"These are temporary measures. What we have repeatedly asked for is a sustained medical evacuation out of Gaza, as 12,000 people are waiting for transfer for treatment abroad," said Rick Peeperkorn, WHO representative in Palestine.

He said that the patients and injured "will travel in a convoy through the Kerem Shalom crossing."
