Dozens of patients and the wounded have been evacuated for treatment outside the war-ravaged Gaza Strip, where the United Nations says Israel’s attacks on and around hospitals have pushed health care to the brink of collapse. The 45 patients left the European Hospital in the southern city of Khan Younis early Tuesday and traveled through the Kerem Shalom Crossing into Israel. They will receive treatment in the United Arab Emirates. The U.N. Human Rights Office says says Israel’s attacks on and around hospitals have pushed health care to the brink of collapse and may have violated international law. Israel has dismissed such allegations from U.N. bodies
