Four patients and seven companions evacuated from Gaza arrived in Türkiye for treatment on Thursday.
Following Israel’s attacks on Gaza, four injured Palestinians who could no longer continue their treatment were evacuated from Gaza to Jordan and then flown to Türkiye along with seven accompanying family members.
A Turkish Airlines plane carrying the patients and their companions departed from Queen Alia International Airport in Amman, landing first at Istanbul Airport. Later, the group was transferred to Ankara Esenboğa Airport.
Upon arrival, ambulances waiting at the airport transported the patients and companions to Etlik City Hospital for further medical care.
Among those brought for treatment were TRT Arabi cameraman Sami Mohammed Abdullah Shehada, who was injured by Israeli tank fire and had his right leg amputated, and reporter Sami Fuad Mahmoud Barhoom, who was wounded when an armed Israeli drone attacked TRT’s press vehicle.
The attack that injured Barhoom struck TRT’s press vehicle with five bullets.
Türkiye consistently demonstrates strong support for Gaza through humanitarian aid, medical assistance and diplomatic efforts. It provides critical supplies and facilitates medical evacuations for injured Palestinians.
