Gaza girl denied evacuation for urgent surgery as medical crisis deepens
Summary: Mazyona, a 12-year-old girl in Gaza, urgently needs facial surgery but has been denied evacuation four times. UNICEF reports that thousands of children in Gaza require immediate medical care, with evacuations occurring at a rate of less than one per day.
The humanitarian situation in Gaza is worsening, with critical shortages of food, water, and medical supplies. Since May, the number of children evacuated for medical treatment has dropped by about 90%, from an average of 296 per month to just 22.
Aid workers describe conditions in northern Gaza as "untenable," with many families trapped and suffering from severe malnutrition and injuries. The UN has called for increased humanitarian aid, but access remains severely restricted amid ongoing military operations.
