The medical condition of 140 injured people transferred from Gaza to Egypt to receive treatment is “serious,” Egyptian health ministry spokesperson Hossam Abdel Ghaffar told Egyptian government-affiliated ON TV on Monday.
The tally includes 55 children under the age of 18, plus 35 women, Abdel Ghaffar said.
More than 30 surgical operations are conducted daily, and some cases need several specialties to treat burns and other injuries, he said.
The number of injured people evacuated is “undoubtedly low,” the spokesperson said.
