Gaza's medical transfer committee said Israeli occupation forces continue closing Rafah crossing to patient and casualty evacuations, Shehab Wire reported. Dozens of sick and wounded Palestinians meet travel requirements and appear on approved evacuation lists but cannot leave, the committee stated.
The blockade prevents access to medical treatment unavailable in the Gaza Strip for patients whose cases have been cleared for cross-border transfer.
