Cancer patient died in Gaza while awaiting medical evacuation

A 45-year-old science teacher with cancer died in Gaza while waiting for medical evacuation through the Rafah crossing, Electronic Intifada reported.
He had undergone surgery described as high-risk during the wait, an operation that would ordinarily have followed rather than preceded transfer.
Medical evacuation from the Strip requires approvals whose timing is set by procedure rather than by the patient's condition.
