    From the article:

    The Financial Times newspaper reported that, based on WHO figures, over 9,000 patients are in need of urgent treatment as Gaza’s health system has become overwhelmed. This number includes a list of 109 severely ill and injured children, which the WHO hoped would be treated in EU countries.

    9000 / 27 = ~334

    Meanwhile:

    Norway has also committed to taking in 20 patients.
    […]
    The first 16 seriously injured children were evacuated to Spain in July.

    Peanuts.

      Also if splitting it by approx. the countries population it gets even lower. Finland has like 5.6 of ca. 450 million EU inhabitants. So that number goes down to like 100 people.

      Finland is claiming that their health system cannot take in a hundred patients? If i was Finnish i would leave immediately and seek refugee, as their system must be at imminent collapse, according to their government.

    From the article:

    However, the Finnish Ministry of Social Affairs and Health said a decision has been made not to take in any patients from Gaza because “Finland does not have the necessary resources to respond to the patient evacuation requests”. The ministry added that, with limited resources, “Finland has decided to prioritise assistance to Ukraine with regard to patient evacuations.”

    Seems reasonable to me.

      This number includes a list of 109 severely ill and injured children, which the WHO hoped would be treated in EU countries.

      Of the 27 member states, so far just seven EU countries have announced that they will accept patients from Gaza — Spain, Belgium, Italy, Luxembourg, Malta, Romania and Slovakia. Norway has also committed to taking in 20 patients.

      The first 16 seriously injured children were evacuated to Spain in July.

      If you can not handle 20 children then I will wish you good luck that you may be able to fix your health system.

    How about counties take a number of them equal to the weight of weapons supplied to Israel.

    Also include those countries that supplied rockets to Hamas.
