Gaza official: 22,000 need medical evacuation abroad, 1,000 daily exits required

Gaza's government media office director Ismail al-Thawabteh says 22,000 Palestinians require treatment abroad and calls for 1,000 daily evacuations, citing Israeli crossing figures since October 2025 as 'very poor' and below minimum humanitarian needs. The claim is unverified and reflects ongoing humanitarian access constraints in Gaza.
