Palestinian boy among thousands waiting for medical evacuation
A Palestinian teenager shot near an aid distribution site is among thousands in Gaza urgently seeking permission to leave for medical treatment.

Both the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation and the Israel Defense Forces have repeatedly denied responsibility for deaths at aid sites.
The World Health Organization estimates nearly 16,000 patients require care that cannot be provided inside Gaza, but many wait months for approval to travel — delays that can prove fatal.
While some countries are accepting evacuations, the US has halted visas for Gazans seeking medical care, leaving many caught between injury and bureaucracy.
