United Nations, Dhu-AlHijjah 26, 1437, September 27, 2016, SPA -- The World Health Organization (WHO) on Tuesday called for dozens of sick and wounded people in the embattled eastern part of Aleppo to be evacuated through safe corridors for treatment. The Syrian military launched a major campaign last week to take rebel-held eastern Aleppo, where the U.N. health agency said only 35 doctors remained to care for at least 250,000 people. “WHO is calling for the immediate establishment of humanitarian routes to evacuate sick and wounded from the eastern part of the city,” WHO spokeswoman Fadela Chaib told reporters in Geneva. “We are talking about only 35 doctors left in east Aleppo to take care of hundreds of wounded people, and the number is increasing,” Chaib said, adding that only seven hospitals remain in east Aleppo, some of them only partially functional, and civilians have no way to leave the encircled city. --SPA 17:53 LOCAL TIME 14:53 GMT www.spa.gov.sa/w
