Children in Gaza are dying while waiting for medical evacuation. Three-year-old Zain Tafesh died from leukemia, and eight-year-old Saadi Abu Taha died from cancer. Hospitals are struggling after two years of war, with doctors unable to give proper treatment. The World Health Organization says 15,000 patients need urgent help. Israel has kept Gaza’s Rafah crossing closed until Hamas meets ceasefire terms. WHO and EU countries have urged Israel to allow patients to travel for treatment, especially to hospitals in East Jerusalem and the West Bank. Doctors warn that without faster action, more children will die. (PC: BBC)
