Security clearances delay Gaza patient transit
The Ministry of Health in Gaza confirmed that the Israeli authorities continue to prohibit patients from traveling through the Rafah Crossing, despite the ceasefire agreement that came into effect in October 2025. This hinders their access to external medical treatment, as only 5 cases out of 70 urgent requests submitted by the ministry have been permitted. Patients are facing long delays and losing hope of receiving treatment outside the Gaza Strip, with the Israeli blockade exacerbating their suffering amid ongoing restrictions on movement. The ministry also noted that over 20,000 patients are in urgent need of travel to receive medical care, including several critical cases.
