US supports safe evacuation of patients at Gaza hospitals by independent third party

The United States would like to see safe evacuation for patients at Gaza hospitals to get out of harm's way and will support an independent third party to conduct those evacuations, U.S. State Department spokesperson Matthew Miller said on Tuesday.

Speaking at a news briefing, Miller said Washington did not want to see any civilians, "certainly not babies in incubators" and other vulnerable populations caught in the crossfire. He added the U.S. was in conversations with humanitarian organizations and third parties on the possible evacuation.
