The patients include children suffering from trauma injuries and chronic diseases.

In short:

More than 100 people will be evacuated from Gaza, according to a World Health Organization (WHO) official.

The patients include children suffering from trauma injuries and chronic diseases.

What's next?

A WHO spokesperson said the patients will travel in a large convoy via the Kerem Shalom crossing with Israel before flying to the United Arab Emirates.

More than 100 patients including children suffering from trauma injuries and chronic diseases will be evacuated from Gaza on Wednesday in a rare transfer out of the war-ravaged enclave, according to a World Health Organization (WHO) official.

"These are ad hoc measures. What we have requested repeatedly is a sustained medevac (medical evacuation) outside of Gaza," said Rik Peeperkorn, WHO representative for the Occupied Palestinian Territory.

The patients will travel via the Kerem Shalom crossing with Israel before flying to the United Arab Emirates, said Rik Peeperkorn, WHO representative for the Occupied Palestinian Territory.

Some will then go on to Romania, he said, adding that 12,000 people were awaiting transfer.

Meanwhile, Israel's military has issued new evacuation warnings in the north of the Gaza Strip, after carrying out strikes across the enclave which Palestinian media and medics say have killed at least 30 people in the past two days.

An air strike damaged two houses in the town of Beit Lahiya in northern Gaza and killed at least 20 people late on Monday, the Palestinian official news agency WAFA and Hamas media said.

Four other people were killed in the central Gazan town of Al-Zawayda at about midnight on Monday, medics said.

The Gaza health ministry did not immediately confirm the tolls but Palestinian health officials said six people had also been killed in two separate Israeli air strikes in Gaza City and Deir Al-Balah in the central area of the narrow enclave.

The Israeli military said, without giving details, that its forces had "eliminated terrorists" in the central Gaza Strip and Jabalia area.

Israeli troops had also located weapons and explosives over the past day in the southern Rafah area, where "terrorist infrastructure sites" had been eliminated, it said.

Later on Tuesday, Israeli planes dropped leaflets over Beit Lahiya, telling residents who had not yet left their homes and shelters housing displaced families to leave the town completely.

"To all those who remained at homes and shelters, you are risking your lives. For your safety you have to head south," said the leaflet, which was written in Arabic.

Palestinians said the new attacks and Israeli warnings for people to evacuate were aimed at emptying two northern Gaza towns and a refugee camp to create buffer zones.

Israel says the evacuations are meant to keep civilians out of harm's way as its troops battle Hamas fighters.

Hundreds of Palestinian gunmen have been killed or captured in the area of Jabalia over the past month, the Israeli military says.

More than 43,300 Palestinians have been killed in more than a year of war in Gaza, the authorities in Gaza say, and much of the territory has been reduced to ruins.
