Buses arranged in cooperation with the World Health Organisation were transporting them out of Gaza on Saturday morning. Under the terms of the continuing ceasefire agreement between Hamas and Israel, 50 wounded and ill Palestinians, along with their companions, will be permitted to travel every day through Rafah.
