It said that the order for evacuation had been impossible to carry out given the current insecurity and critical condition of many patients.
It said that other problems were lack of ambulances, staff, health system bed capacity, and alternative shelter for those displaced.
The statement called for the immediate active protection of civilians and health care.
” Evacuation orders must be reversed.
“International humanitarian law must be abided by, which means health care must be actively protected and never targeted,” it said.
