Over 500 Palestinian patients die due to Israeli medical transfer delays
At least 500 patients and wounded Palestinians in Gaza have died as a result of delays in medical referrals amid Israel's ongoing restrictions on medical travel, according to Dr Ahmed Al-Farra, head of the paediatrics and maternity department at Nasser Medical Complex. Speaking to loca media, Dr Al-Farra accused Israeli forces of deliberately targeting Gaza's healthcare system 'in all its components,' describing the attacks as part of an effort to break the resilience of the Palestinian people. 'Under international law, every patient has the right to travel for treatment,' he said. 'But the occupation continues to violate these rights without consequence.' Medical professionals in Gaza have repeatedly warned that restrictions on patient movement and attacks on health infrastructure are creating a humanitarian catastrophe, particularly for those with chronic or life-threatening conditions.

Palestinian family rescued after 37-day siege in southern Gaza
Rescue teams from the Palestinian Red Crescent Society (PRCS) and the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) evacuated a family of six from Abasan, east of Khan Younis, after they had been trapped for 37 days under severe humanitarian conditions. The operation, carried out on Saturday, followed days of coordination amid ongoing Israeli military activity that had made access unsafe. The family was transferred to the PRCS-run Al-Mawasi Field Hospital, west of Khan Younis, where they are receiving full medical and psychological care. The group had endured intense physical and emotional hardship during their isolation, as movement in the area remained highly dangerous due to Israeli targeting of civilians, the Palestinian news agency Wafa reported.
