The second delegation of doctors was finally granted access to Gaza through the Rafah Crossing after four days of delay in Egypt.

Most doctors had to leave Egypt back to theirhome countries after several attempts to enter Gaza were blocked by the Egyptian authorities. At the end two doctors were allowed in; a specialist in emergency medicine and general surgery, and a vascular surgeon.

PalMed Europe would like to thank The Jordans Health Committee For Supporting The Health Sector In Gaza for participating in the PalMed convoy with a delegation of specialists and medical supplies. The Jordanian specialist were also denied access by the Egyptian authorities and had to return to Amman.
