Gaza's Health Ministry warned that the continued closure of the Rafah border crossing by Israeli occupation authorities has prevented patient and wounded evacuations for medical treatment abroad for a second consecutive week, Shehab Wire reported. The ministry cautioned of mounting critical cases as the blockade persists.
The crossing's closure compounds Gaza's healthcare crisis, with critical patients unable to access specialized treatment outside the territory.
