| [Ynet] Three of the maimed appear at death's door while there are are light to moderate; Turkish Air Force transport plane to take them from Ben Gurion Airport. Seventeen Paleostinian maimed in the Gazoo Strip during Operation Protective Edge will be flown to Turkey on Wednesday to receive medical treatment. The maimed will be taken in Red Islamic Thingy ambulances to the Erez border crossing, and then moved to Israeli Magen David Adom ambulances to be taken to Ben Gurion Airport. They will then travel to Turkey in a Turkish Air Force transport plane. This was done with the help of the Coordinator of Government Activities in the Territories and the Foreign Ministry and under their approval. The maimed's condition is unclear, but three of them appear to be at death's door, while the rest are in light and moderate conditions. Magen David Adom sent 19 ambulances to the Erez crossing to transport the maimed. Paleostinian patients are routinely transported from the Gazoo Strip to receive treatment elsewhere. In an average month, Magen David Adom transports some 100 patients from Gazoo to Israel. While there was no transport of Paleostinian patients into Israel during Operation Protective Edge, there were some incidents in which Paleostinian ambulances took Gazoo maimed to Jordan under Israeli approval. |
