In Gaza’s Nasser Hospital, two 10-year-olds — one paralysed after being hit by what his family says was an Israeli drone bullet, another with a brain tumour — embody a wider emergency. The WHO says some 15,000 patients need urgent evacuation. Since a fragile 10 October ceasefire, it has moved 41 patients and 145 carers via Kerem Shalom to hospitals abroad, urging many more and access through Rafah. Israel keeps Rafah closed, and treatment in the West Bank and East Jerusalem remains blocked. Doctors report daily loss of life due to lack of capabilities, including three children this week.
