A Palestinian security source announced on Saturday that no foreign passport holders will travel from the Gaza Strip until the wounded are evacuated from Gaza hospitals to the Rafah border crossing with Egypt.
The source said all concerned parties must intervene to coordinate the exit of the wounded from hospitals in Gaza and the north towards the Rafah crossing for treatment in Egyptian hospitals, reports Al-Rai daily.
He added that without this step, no foreign passport holders will be able to travel from the Gaza Strip.
This development comes after 13 Palestinians were killed and dozens injured in Israeli raids on ambulances transporting wounded from Gaza City to the Rafah land crossing in the southern Gaza Strip for treatment in Egypt yesterday, Friday, according to what Palestinian medical sources announced.
The director of Al-Shifa Medical Complex in Gaza, Muhammad Abu Salamiya, said that ambulances were targeted in three locations, one of which was near the gate of Al-Shifa Medical Complex.
Abu Salamiya explained that ambulances carrying 30 wounded people were subjected to Israeli attacks yesterday and their exit from Gaza City towards the areas south of the Gaza Strip and the Rafah crossing was prevented.
He added that similar attacks targeted ambulances in the Ansar area and another near Al-Rashid Street, west of Gaza City, with the aim of completely preventing the wounded from receiving treatment in Egyptian hospitals.
The Israeli army said in a statement that the bombing yesterday targeted a cell of the Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) that used an ambulance.
