Minister of Health Fahrettin Koca says Turkiye is prepared to treat children with cancer in Gaza to be taken to its hospitals through Egypt, Al Jazeera reports.

Reporting over a call he had with his Israeli counterpart Uriel Menachem Buso, Koca said he mentioned that the only hospital in Gaza providing cancer treatment was no longer operational.

“I reminded him of our need to continue to treat innocent children,” Koca said.

“I emphasised that we are prepared for victims, particularly children, to be taken to Egypt by ambulances and then to Turkiye by air ambulance for treatment. We will begin transporting cancer patients to Turkiye as soon as possible,” he added.
