More than 200 seriously injured and ill Palestinians and their carers have been evacuated from Gaza, in one of the biggest operations of its kind in months, Israel says.
The operation, overseen by Cogat, the Israeli military body responsible for humanitarian affairs in Gaza, and the World Health Organization, saw 231 Gazans allowed through the Israeli-controlled Kerem Shalom crossing.
They include people with autoimmune diseases, blood diseases, cancer, kidney conditions, and trauma injuries.
The WHO said there were still up to 14,000 people waiting for evacuation for medical reasons. Before this evacuation, only 229 patients had left since May, according to the UN.
The people transported out of Gaza in the medical evacuation operation will be taken to the United Arab Emirates or Romania for treatment.
