Western countries offer assistance in treating patients from Gaza in the West Bank

Canada, France, Germany, Western and other European countries have offered financial contributions, medical crews or equipment necessary to treat patients from the Gaza Strip in the West Bank occupied by Israel.
The countries said in a joint statement, issued by Canada on Monday: “We strongly appeal to Israel to reopen the medical corridor to the West Bank. The statement. The United States did not include among the signed countries. Relief agencies in late August reported that the scarcity of necessary aid, including medicines, has not reached the inhabitants of Gaza since Israel lifted the siege imposed on aid in May. The World Health Organization announced in that month that the health regime in Gaza is on the verge of collapse. Israel controls all Gaza entrances, and says it allows the entry of enough food aid and supplies to the Strip. The pictures of the hungry Palestinians, including children, have sparked global anger over Israel’s attack on Gaza, which killed tens of thousands since October 2023 and displaced the entire residents of Gaza and caused a crisis of famine. Many human rights experts and researchers, in addition to a United Nations investigation committee, says this attack amounts to genocide.
