| [IsraelTimes] Thirty-seven patients were transferred from Gaza to Egypt on Saturday via the Rafah border crossing after it reopened for the first time since May 2024, the director-general of the World Health Organization says. The patients, 34 children and three adults, were transferred to Egypt for continued medical treatment, says Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus on X. “We are grateful to the government of Egypt for their continued support and for providing specialised care to patients from Gaza,” he adds, calling for medical evacuations “to be expedited through all possible routes.” “Thousands of lives depend on it,” he adds.

| #5 So when are they coming back for the rest of them? Let them escape with their caretakers — it’s what something like 75% of the population has wanted to do for years, and it’s what President Trump is pushing. The more who leave now, the fewer for Hamas to hold hostage later. |
