Title: Evacuation of 21 Cancer Patients from Gaza to Egypt

A medical source in the Egyptian city of Al-Arish announced the evacuation of 21 cancer patients from the Gaza Strip to Egypt via the Karam Abu Salem crossing, marking the first such event since the crossing was closed in early May when the Israeli army took control of the Palestinian side. According to reports from the source, "21 cancer patients arrived in Egyptian territory through the Karam Abu Salem crossing to receive treatment in the UAE." Negotiations to reopen the Rafah crossing, a key corridor for aid and evacuations, have repeatedly stalled. Cairo has refused to resume operations at the crossing as long as Israeli forces maintain control over the Palestinian side.
