UN health agency chief Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus welcomed Egypt's decision on Wednesday to accept dozens of the most critically sick and injured from the stricken Gaza Strip for treatment. Meanwhile, the UN relief chief has said a 'step change' is needed in what has now become 'a global crisis.'

'We have been working with Egypt's Health Ministry on planning for medical evacuations and will continue to support,' said the World Health Organization (WHO) head.
