More than a dozen children with cancer or other serious blood disorders have been safely evacuated from Gaza after weeks of difficult negotiations involving the U.S., Egypt, Israel and Hamas — but more than 30 remain in the war-torn territory, three doctors involved in the effort tell NBC News.
The children, accompanied by parents or companions, were evacuated from the Al-Rantisi Specialized Hospital for Children to hospitals in Egypt and Jordan, the St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital and the World Health Organization said Friday.
The development comes as hospitals across northern Gaza on Thursday and Friday came under munitions fire and as Israeli military vehicles drew near. Strikes hit the strip’s largest hospital, Al-Shifa, though it is unclear where the projectile originated.
Al-Rantisi, the last pediatric hospital in north Gaza, closed late Thursday night following repeated warnings from the Israel Defense Forces to evacuate.
One nurse, who declined to give her name out of concerns for her safety, remained with the children at the cancer hospital until the last moment.
At one point during a nearby munitions barrage, she pleaded for help from her international contacts.
“I swear I want to get our message and voice out,” she wrote in a text. “Speak to the White House to anyone tell them we are a cancer hospital with sick kids they are undergoing chemo and cancer treatment and on top of us is shelling.”

She needs to protect the Hamas men hiding under the hospital, in tunnels.
Cancer is bad. Chemotherapy is ugly, but can cure.
Hamas is bad. War is ugly, but can cure the disease that is Hamas.
I saw a report that Israeli soldiers went into one of these hospitals and are now going through the tunnels.
They should have been evacuated out weeks ago.
Looking forward to the heartbreaking TV commercials
All the alphabet soup hamas ass kissing press doing the hospitals routine today. Hamas on the ropes and calling on their press buddies to help

Were the paid hamas journalists for the scumedia on the scene?
Where were the babies slaughtered on Oct. 7 moved to? (hint) A morgue.
Evacuate? These poor kids are being used as shields. Hamas 101.
I know.
And the fact that they weren’t reveals the true nature of Hamas.
