Israel ​blew up Gaza’s specialised cancer hospital last year after saying troops found a tunnel used by Hamas militants running beneath it. That means that an estimated 17,000 Gazans with cancer have no local option for ‌chemotherapy or other advanced therapy. Few Palestinians can afford to travel ‌for treatment, and those who can face Israeli restrictions. The military imposes strict caps on daily crossings to Egypt, despite a 2025 Israel-Hamas ceasefire deal that requires free movement in and out. Asked for ⁠comment, COGAT, the Israeli ⁠military agency that controls access to Gaza, said it coordinates medical evacuations with the World Health Organization. To depart, ​Gazans must have a valid request from a receiving country and pass “required security screening,” COGAT said. The WHO …
