An estimated 300 Palestinians who were approved for medical treatment abroad have died since the ceasefire began, according to Gaza’s Hamas-run health ministry. The patients faced agonising delays in the evacuation process, the ministry said. The figure highlights the ongoing struggle for medical care in the territory, where the health system has been severely damaged by months of conflict. The ministry did not provide a breakdown of the causes of death or the specific conditions of the patients. International aid groups have repeatedly called for faster medical evacuations for critically ill and injured civilians.
