Gaza patients in limbo amid Israel’s ‘pilot reopening’ of Rafah crossing
AI Summary
The Rafah crossing between Gaza and Egypt has begun a pilot reopening, but confusion surrounds the process for Gazan patients seeking medical treatment abroad. Thousands of wounded individuals, like Nebal al-Hessi, who lost her hands in an Israeli attack in October 2024, are hoping to access adequate medical care outside of Gaza. However, unclear criteria, limited travel slots, and ongoing medical neglect within Gaza are hindering their ability to leave. Nebal, injured over a year ago, relies on her family for basic needs and faces uncertainty about her chances of receiving treatment. The reopening aims to alleviate the suffering of those needing specialized medical attention unavailable in the besieged territory, but its effectiveness remains questionable.
