Israel's Supreme Court has ordered the government to explain the lack of a formal system for evacuating ill Gazans, unrelated to the Hamas-Israel conflict, for treatment abroad. This directive follows a petition by three Israeli human rights organizations after the Rafah border crossing between Gaza and Egypt closed due to military actions in May. Before the closure, approximately 50 patients were evacuated daily. However, the halt in evacuations has caused significant concerns, with the petition urging Israel to establish a transparent process for such applications. Lawyer Adi Lustigman highlighted the inconsistent approval process, noting that some severely sick individuals remain while others with milder conditions are allowed exits. The petition stresses the need for humane relocation speeds, not necessarily abroad, but without access being blocked. Lustigman pointed out that Israel prefers Gazans to travel to third countries due to security considerations, although public opposition to the petition remains strong.
