Italy to provide medical aid to 100 Palestinian children from Gaza

Italy is set to provide hospital treatment to 100 Palestinian children from Gaza, with plans to transport them by air and sea in an operation in the next few days, announced Defence Minister Guido Crosetto on Wednesday.

According to Crosetto, the first 30 children will fly from Egypt, where they sought refuge and medical assistance after escaping the Israeli bombardment of Gaza.

Additionally, 30 children along with their families are expected to arrive in Italy at the end of January on the military ship Vulcano, departing from the Egyptian port of al-Arish.

Crosetto did not specify the timing or mode of transport for the remaining 40 children.
