Cancer patients stopped from leaving Gaza for treatment | BBC News

Before the war broke out 62-year-old Siham was being treated at the Turkish-Palestinian Friendship Hospital in north Gaza - the only cancer hospital in Gaza.

She's one of approximately 10,000 cancer patients in Gaza - according to figures from Gaza's Hamas-run health ministry - who have been unable to get treatment or medicines since the hospital shut down in the first week of November due to fuel shortages.

Egypt, Turkey, the UAE and Jordan have pledged to treat thousands of cancer patients like Siham, as well as those injured in the war.

A daily list is published by the Palestinian border authority with names of the people who have been approved by Egypt and Israel to leave but many, like Siham, have been unable to leave.

Palestinian border agents said that because the Turkish envoy was not there to receive Siham on the Egyptian side, they could not let her through. But we have spoken to others who were allowed to travel to Turkey that day.
