GAZA, April 5 (Bernama-WAFA) -- Palestinian Red Crescent Society (PRCS) teams evacuated patients through the Rafah crossing on Sunday as part of ongoing humanitarian efforts to secure treatment abroad for cases requiring care outside the Gaza Strip, Palestine News and Info Agency (WAFA) reported.
The evacuation included 17 patients, accompanied by 33 attendants, who left the Strip from the PRCS’s Medical Rehabilitation Hospital in Khan Younis, heading towards the Rafah crossing in preparation for transfer abroad to receive necessary treatment, in coordination with the World Health Organisation (WHO) and other relevant authorities.
The PRCS affirmed that its participation in medical evacuations stems from its humanitarian role in supporting the sick and wounded and facilitating access to medical services, especially amid increasing pressure on health facilities in the Gaza Strip and the ongoing need to transfer some cases to hospitals abroad.
