Iraq receives dozens of wounded Palestinians from Gaza to provide hospital treatment


Iraq has received dozens of wounded Palestinians from the besieged Gaza Strip to provide them treatment in hospitals, in the latest gesture of support for Gazans by the Iraqi government.

In a statement by Iraq’s Ministry of Health yesterday, it announced the arrival of 27 wounded Palestinians from Gaza as the first batch to arrive in Iraq as part of the ‘Help Gaza’ campaign launched by the government on 7 April.

Under the campaign, Gazans injured in Israel’s ongoing offensive and bombardment of the besieged Strip are set to receive treatment in private hospitals within Iraq.
