There are 450 patients in critical condition and in need of immediate treatment outside the Gaza Strip, says Dr Mohammed Abu Salmiya, director of al-Shifa Hospital in northern Gaza City.

“We were informed that today only five patients will be allowed to exit with two companions through the Rafah crossing,” Abu Salmiya told Al Jazeera. “We want clear mechanisms for the exit of patients and the injured from Gaza for treatment.”
