21 Palestinian children evacuated to Abu Dhabi for medical treatment

In June, three US charities and the World Health Organization coordinated the exit of 21 Palestinian children with cancer, as they departed through the complicated Karem Abu Salem (Kerem Shalom) route into Egypt.

More than 25,000 patients in Gaza require treatment abroad – including 980 children with cancer – one-quarter of whom need urgent and immediate evacuation.
