The 29th group of patients has left the battered enclave as part of the faltering Hamas-Israel ceasefire.

Al Jazeera Arabic’s correspondent on the ground said 33 people needing medical care left Gaza through the Rafah crossing into Egypt. They were accompanied by 55 relatives.

Many of the patients are suffering from chronic diseases, including cancer, and have been unable to get treatment since the start of Israel’s military offensive more than 16 months ago.

A total of 400 Palestinians will be allowed to leave Gaza for medical treatment as part of the ceasefire between Hamas and Israel signed on January 19.
