47 patients and 45 companions leave Gaza for treatment
92 people left the Gaza Strip through the Rafah land crossing, including 47 patients and 45 companions, to receive treatment in hospitals outside the Strip, amid major challenges facing the health system in Gaza.
92 people left the Gaza Strip on Thursday through the Rafah land crossing, heading abroad for treatment, including 47 patients and 45 companions. The departure process included patients in need of completing their treatment in hospitals outside the Strip, accompanied by their families. This comes at a time when the health system in Gaza faces major challenges, with damaged hospitals and a shortage of medicines, medical supplies, fuel, and spare parts, limiting its ability to provide specialized treatment services. Patient evacuation operations constitute a lifeline for critical cases, especially patients who need surgical operations or specialized treatments. The continued movement of patients through the Rafah crossing remains a key factor in alleviating pressure on the health sector.
