Children in Gaza who need medical care are not being allowed to evacuate, say aid groups
Briefly

Ahmed Hammad, a 4-year-old with a failing pacemaker, is in desperate need of treatment, but Israeli bureaucracy blocks his evacuation despite U.S. pressure.
Non-governmental medical groups report that the Israeli military's evacuation process for children has become inefficient and bureaucratic, leading to the tragic deaths of several patients.
Since Israel took control of the Rafah border, the evacuation of patients from Gaza has drastically decreased, complicating medical care for children like Ahmed Hammad.
Nacera Wolf-Belala, from Kinder Relief, states that despite the readiness of medical teams, the approval to evacuate children such as Ahmed remains painfully delayed.
