Gaza: Director of Nasser Medical Complex: Israeli Obstruction of Wounded Travel, No Cases Have Left Yet

The director of Nasser Medical Complex in the southern Gaza Strip confirmed a clear Israeli obstruction of the travel of patients and wounded through the Rafah land crossing, revealing that the occupation authorities approved only 5 names out of a list that included 27 patients and wounded with difficult conditions.

The director of the complex stressed, in a press statement on Monday, that no patients or wounded have left through the crossing so far, despite the announcement of the start of operations.

He pointed out that there are more than 20,000 patients and wounded waiting for an opportunity to travel to receive necessary treatment after the deterioration of the health system in the Strip due to the continuous aggression.

The director of the complex said in his statement: 'The delay in travel procedures for these injured represents an actual death sentence for them due to the deterioration of their health, and we observe a state of ambiguity and lack of clarity in managing this file in an unusual way compared to what it was before.'

These statements refute expectations of a quick breakthrough in the medical crisis, as the security obstacles imposed by the occupation emerge as a major impediment to saving hundreds of critical cases in the Gaza Strip.
