Turkiye’s health minister has said over two dozen Palestinian cancer patients, many of them children, who have crossed from Gaza into Egypt will be brought for treatment to Turkiye, AFP reports.
Turkish Health Minister Fahrettin Koca said 26 Palestinian cancer patients have entered Egypt through the Rafah border crossing today.
“We plan to take these 26 patients to Turkey today,” he said in televised remarks from the El Arish airport in Egypt. He said the group would be flown to Turkey “with 13 companions”, without specifying whether these were doctors or family members.
