Israel facilitates medical evacs for over 1,000 Gazans to 13 countries

Over the past few months, 23 groups totaling 1,055 patients and caregivers have left Gaza via the Kerem Shalom Crossing to receive medical treatment in 13 countries abroad, the Israeli Defense Ministry’s COGAT unit said on Wednesday.

These include 127 patients—mostly children—and escorts who were evacuated from Gaza on Tuesday to receive medical care in the United Arab Emirates, in an operation that was coordinated with the UAE and the World Health Organization.

COGAT on Wednesday highlighted its multilateral efforts with the international community in Gaza over the past year to facilitate humanitarian response to the population, including a polio vaccination campaign with UNICEF, with 559,000 children in Gaza immunized in two rounds.

Israel works collaboratively with the international community to facilitate humanitarian responses for the civilian population in Gaza, despite challenges.

To get the sick Gazans used to trust COGAT, so it becomes easier to genocide them later. Obvious, no?

(just in case, because I can't count on everyone to be sufficiently grounded in reality anymore)

In another X post on Wednesday, COGAT posted footage last week of medical supplies given by the Israel to the Indonesian Hospital in northern Gaza, with COGAT noting that since then, more medical supplies, fuel and a generator have been delivered to the facility


It is weird that there are no articles showing the humanitarian aid that Hamas is supplying or efforts to evacuate them, their own citizens to safety.

Where are the articles about Hamas doing anything for the Gazan civilians?

And where is the outrage demanding they do anything?

Perhaps I should start researching, there must be something out there about their efforts.

I hear ya, no outrage toward their government, none at all.
