The weaponization of medical referrals and evacuations during the genocide in Gaza: a brief report and call to action

The Israeli policy of weaponizing the referrals and medical evacuations has resulted in excess mortality that merits further research and quantification, as patients succumbed to their medical conditions or injuries while waiting to exit Gaza. Action needs to be taken by host countries to step up their efforts to receive more patients from Gaza and put more pressure on Israel to facilitate the safe evacuation process of these patients.
