Over 20,000 injured and wounded Palestinians are awaiting medical treatment as Israel permits 50 out at a time
Dozen Palestinians allowed to re-enter but critical patients continue to be prevented from receiving life-saving care.
Israeli restrictions mean only five Palestinians allowed to leave Gaza for treatment via Rafah crossing on first day.
Only 12 Palestinians entered Gaza through Rafah while five patients and their escorts were allowed to leave for Egypt.
Rafah crossing will reportedly operate for six hours a day and allow only 150 patients to exit into Egypt for care.
The Rafah crossing’s pilot opening begins amid confusion as Gaza’s patients face unclear criteria, limited travel slots.
