Surgeon Dr Abdel Hammad was still waiting in Gaza to cross into Egypt near the Rafah crossing on Wednesday evening after it opened earlier in the day, but has since crossed safely
Dr Youssuf Al Akkad, from the Gaza European Hospital, had the difficult job of selecting 18 of his most seriously ill patients to make the crossing. He said his facility was in danger of running out of fuel supplies in a matter of days.
Israeli strikes on the Jabalia refugee camp in Gaza, which killed a Hamas commander as well as dozens of others, could amount to a war crime, the UN Human Rights Office has said. Meanwhile, the Rafah border crossing between Gaza and Egypt opened to allow some injured people to leave.
