“The Palestine Red Crescent ambulance teams departed from in front of the Emirati Hospital in Rafah to transport 28 premature newborns to the Rafah Crossing, in preparation for their transfer to receive medical treatment in Egyptian hospital.”

Previously evacuated to Emirate Hospital, the 31 premature babies had received treatment at Al-Shifa Hospital in Northern Gaza. However, the hospital stopped operating due to fuel shortage and Israeli attacks.
