The Israeli occupation has obstructed the medical evacuation of the 15th group of patients through the Rafah Crossing in the southern Gaza Strip, the Gaza Government Media Office (GMO) reported yesterday.

The head of the GMO, Salama Maarouf, said the Israeli occupation committed a new violation of the ceasefire agreement by deliberately delaying the release of travel lists of the 15th group of patients and wounded, preventing them from exiting the besieged enclave.

He warned that Israel’s ongoing and escalating violations could lead the situation to spiral out of control, which requires a serious and firm position from the mediators who guarantee the agreement.
