In Gaza, another group of patients is preparing to leave the enclave to receive medical attention abroad. According to the World Health Organization, thousands in Gaza need medical evacuation.
The latest group of patients and people wounded in the Gaza conflict is set to leave the enclave for medical treatment abroad.
This comes as the Rafah border crossing has been reopened following the ceasefire between Israel and Hamas, allowing for Palestinians to cross into Egypt for humanitarian purposes.
Patients - many of whom are young amputees - have gathered at the European Hospital in Khan Younis hoping to be transferred out.
Currently, the Rafah boarder crossing only allows for travel in one direction, from Gaza to Egypt - sparking concerns about the return of these patients.
The World Health Organization says up to 14,000 critical patients need to be medically evacuated outside of Gaza to receive treatment, with 2,500 of them being children.
