An Italian Air Force KC-767 transported nine Palestinian children in urgent need of medical care from Gaza to Milan, where they were swiftly transferred to top hospitals across the country. The mission, part of the European Civil Protection Mechanism, is providing life-saving treatment to young patients, many of whom require oncology care.
Italy’s Air Squadron General Alberto Biavati praised the operation, calling it 'a moment of national pride'. Another flight carrying nine more children is expected in the coming days, bringing the total to 18 patients.
