Israel, Denmark to explore evacuation of Gaza patients
Denmark has also offered support in treating Gaza patients in the West Bank
“I hope that we can work something out which is doable and actually have some real impact,” Rasmussen said.
Rasmussen criticised Israel’s previous approach to the issue: “It would, of course, have been much easier if you would allow transport of the patients from Gaza to East Jerusalem, but I can’t force you to do that, even though it could save many lives.”
Denmark has also offered support in treating Gaza patients in the West Bank. Saar explained that there were security concerns regarding the issue. However, he said that an evacuation of patients from the Gaza Strip to other countries, such as Arab states, was possible.
He said it was the worst attack on a Jewish community since World War II.
