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.
