The United Arab Emirates has said it planned to treat 1,000 Palestinian children from Gaza, without saying how they would leave the Israeli-besieged enclave for the Gulf state, Reuters reports.

UAE state news agency WAM reported President Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan has directed hospitals to treat 1,000 Palestinian children “accompanied by their families” from Gaza.

It was not immediately clear whether those children and their families will be able to leave Gaza under the deal brokered by Qatar, which involves Israel and the United States.

WAM reported the Palestinian children would “return home” after they had received medical care.
