COGAT says more than hundred Gazans were evacuated for treatment abroad
"117 Gazans requiring medical care and their accompanying relatives left Gaza today (Dec. 8) for medical care in Romania, Italy, Norway and Belgium via Kerem Shalom and to the Ramon Airport," COGAT stated on social media platform X.
The evacuations were conducted in response to requests from foreign governments and United Nations bodies, with each patient cleared by Israeli security authorities.
"We call on governments and international organizations to keep coordinating and to expand their support for medical evacuations, many are already doing so. Israel remains fully committed to cooperating with the international community to enable and assist the evacuation of patients and their caregivers," the statement added.
Reports indicate that since October 2023, more than 70,000 people, mostly women and children, have been killed in Gaza, with over 171,000 others injured.
