An Israeli non-profit organization, Physicians for Human Rights Israel, has filed a petition with the country's Supreme Court to halt the government's plan to repatriate Palestinian patients receiving medical treatment in East Jerusalem back to Gaza. The organization's spokesperson, Ran Yaron, stated that the decision to take legal action was prompted by a report highlighting the risks faced by the patients.
Physicians for Human Rights Israel emphasized that sending residents back to Gaza during a military conflict and humanitarian crisis violates international law and endangers innocent lives, especially those in need of urgent medical care due to poor conditions in Gaza.
