21 cancer patients arrive in Egypt through Kerem Shalom crossing
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleCAIRO, Egypt — Twenty-one cancer patients cross from the war-ravaged Gaza Strip into Egypt through the Kerem Shalom crossing, a medical source in Egypt’s El-Arish city says.
“They will be transported to the United Arab Emirates for treatment,” the source, who requested anonymity because they are not authorized to speak to the media, tells AFP.
It is the first evacuation from Gaza since the Rafah border crossing was closed in early May when Israeli forces took over the Palestinian side of the terminal.
