The Gaza Health Ministry has reported that Israeli authorities are obstructing more medical evacuations from the Rafah crossing to the south, even refusing travel to those who previously received security clearances, Al Jazeera reports.

“Among today’s list of patients is a 16-year-old child with cancer who was refused travel, and the companion of another cancer patient was also refused travel,” the ministry said.

It added that only 53 people will be medically evacuated today, which is far fewer than the 150 required as part of the ceasefire agreement.
