"The latest deaths come as just 260 people, out of 18,500 in urgent need, have been allowed to seek medical care via the crossing to Egypt, the United Nations says. Israeli fire has killed at least two Palestinians in separate incidents across the Gaza Strip on Wednesday, as Israel continues to block thousands of Palestinians from seeking urgent medical attention through the partially-reopened Rafah crossing in its ongoing, more than two-year genocidal war on the enclave."
"Meanwhile, soldiers opened fire on and killed Muhand Jamal al-Najjar, 20, near the Bani Suheila roundabout east of the city of Khan Younis, Palestinian news agency Wafa reported. Gaza hospital sources told Al Jazeera that Israeli fire also wounded three Palestinians in al-Mughraqa in the central Strip and the al-Mawasi area of Rafah to the south."
"The United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) has tallied a total of 260 patients leaving Gaza since the first day of reopening two and a half weeks ago, the office told Al Jazeera on Wednesday a small fraction of the roughly 18,500 people who desperately require evacuation. The figure even falls short of an earlier promise from an Egyptian border official that at least 50 Palestinians would cross in each direction starting from the first day."
Israeli forces killed at least two Palestinians in separate incidents, including a child struck by a drone in the northern Strip. Soldiers opened fire and killed a 20-year-old near the Bani Suheila roundabout, and Israeli fire wounded three others in central and southern Gaza. Since the mid-October ceasefire took effect, more than 600 Palestinians have been killed and over 1,600 wounded according to Palestinian health figures. The Israeli military maintains a blockade on exits via the Rafah crossing, and UN OCHA records show only 260 patients have left Gaza since reopening, far fewer than the roughly 18,500 who require evacuation.
