Turkey says it is prepared to take in child cancer patients from Gaza

Turkey has announced that it is prepared to take in and treat children from Gaza who have cancer. 

Turkey’s health minister, Fahrettin Koca, said he had a phone call with his Israeli counterpart Uriel Menachem, where he said that the only hospital in Gaza providing cancer treatment was no longer operational.

“I emphasised that we are prepared for victims, particularly children, to be taken to Egypt by ambulances and then to Turkey by air ambulance. We will begin transporting cancer patients to Turkey as soon as possible,” he said.
