Gaza patients head to Rafah crossing as people return amid Israeli attacks

AI Summary

long article 4 min

Following a partial reopening, twenty-five Palestinians returned to Gaza through the Rafah crossing from Egypt, reporting difficult journeys and Israeli security measures. Simultaneously, thirteen patients in need of urgent medical care were transferred towards the Rafah crossing for evacuation and treatment abroad, accompanied by family and WHO officials. The returnees, arriving at Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis, described being interrogated by Israeli forces. The Rafah crossing's restricted reopening allows some movement amidst ongoing Israeli attacks, including one reported fatality in Bani Suheila, east of Khan Younis. The returnees expressed mixed emotions, happy to be reunited with family but saddened by the widespread destruction in Gaza.
