Israel denies cancer treatment for Palestinian child over Gaza address

An Israeli court has denied a five-year-old Palestinian cancer patient access to life-saving treatment in Israel. The rejection was based on the child's official address being registered in Gaza, even though he currently lives in Ramallah in the occupied West Bank. A judge claimed the petition, filed by an Israeli rights group, was an attack on the state and that no significant difference existed between this child and others in Gaza needing care. This decision occurs within a broader context of Israeli authorities denying urgent medical evacuations for Palestinians, a practice that has reportedly increased since the war on Gaza.
