Israel Blocks Patients and the Injured From Exiting Gaza

TEHRAN (Defapress) - A representative from the Gaza Health Ministry informed Al Jazeera Arabic that the scheduled departure of individuals requiring medical treatment has been delayed due to a holdup in Israel's authorization.

The representative alleged that Israel is intentionally postponing the approval of travel requests for patients and the injured to hinder their evacuation.

This group was set to be the fifteenth cohort of individuals departing Gaza for medical care outside the territory since the commencement of the ceasefire between Hamas and Israel last month.
