The IDF says that since the beginning of the war against Hamas, 12,000 trucks with 1,052 tons of medical equipment have entered the Gaza Strip.
In a statement, the IDF says it has facilitated the delivery of hundreds of thousands of polio, tuberculosis, rotavirus, and MMR vaccines, among other aid.
It also details the number of patients treated in the various field Gaza hospitals — run by foreign nations and international aid groups — where medical aid has reached, as well as at two floating hospitals aboard a French ship and an Italian ship.
The IDF says it has also coordinated with Egypt the evacuation of hundreds of wounded Palestinians from Gaza, who were taken to the United Arab Emirates, Turkey, and Egypt for treatment.
“In coordination with the international community, the IDF continues to facilitate humanitarian and medical assistance efforts for Gazan civilians,” the military says.
Help us report truthfully on social media
As a multimedia journalist, my job is to take the quality, fact-based journalism produced by The Times of Israel newsroom and make it accessible across every platform — from Instagram posts to podcasts to short-form videos.
This is how many, especially young people, consume news these days. But misinformation is rampant on social media. Our team at ToI produces accurate, responsible short-form reporting on Israel and the Jewish world.
If you believe in the importance of factual social media journalism, please consider joining our reader support group, The Times of Israel Community. Your financial support is essential to sustain responsible multimedia reporting.
