Gaza's Health Ministry says dozens of Palestinians died while waiting for medical treatment abroad as Israeli military operations continued, despite an announced ceasefire, Al Jazeera English reported. The ministry urged authorities to keep the Rafah crossing open to allow patients to leave for treatment.
The deaths occurred amid restricted access to medical care outside Gaza, with the crossing serving as a crucial pathway for Palestinians requiring specialized treatment unavailable in the territory.
