Switzerland plans to take in about 20 injured children from Gaza for medical treatment, the government said on Friday (26 September).
It is unclear when the evacuation of the children from areas can be carried out due to the situation on the ground in the Strip, but coordination efforts are underway, it added in a statement.
The selection will be made in close coordination with the World Health Organisation (WHO), which maintains lists of patients. Security checks will be conducted on the selected children and their accompanying family members, the government added.
Upon arrival, they will go through the asylum process.
The government will cover the costs of coordination and transportation, while the medical costs will be voluntarily borne by the Swiss cantons that take in the children or by the hospitals themselves, it added.
The WHO has registered around 19,000 patients for evacuation from Gaza, including 4,000 children, many with life-threatening injuries or illnesses that cannot be adequately treated locally.
