Red Crescent says head of Khan Younis Medical Center released from Israeli detention after 51 days

The Palestinian Red Crescent says that the head of the Khan Younis Medical Center, Dr. Awni Khattab, has been released from Israeli detention after 51 days.

He was released at the Kerem Shalom border crossing between Israel and Gaza earlier this morning, after being arrested while evacuating patients from Shifa Hospital in northern Gaza to safe zones in the south earlier in the war, the Red Crescent adds.
