Around 200 Palestinians set to arrive in Turkey

Around 200 Palestinians from Gaza are set to arrive in Turkey on Monday, including dozens of patients who will receive medical treatment there, Turkey's health minister and foreign ministry spokesperson said.

Health Minister Fahrettin Koca said 61 patients, accompanied by 49 relatives, had arrived in Ankara on Monday afternoon after being brought out to Egypt on Sunday.

"In terms of protecting human dignity, I think the steps we have taken provide a contribution, though very small," Koca told reporters at the airport. The priority for evacuations was now Gazan children, babies, and wounded civilians, he added.
