A twenty-year-old Palestinian woman from Gaza, Marah Abu Zuhri, passed away in an Italian hospital after arriving in a severely deteriorated condition. While initial reports focused on her suffering from malnutrition, Israel's Coordinator of Government Activities clarified that she had leukemia, sharing documentation from Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis. Italian authorities had requested her evacuation due to her illness, and Israel approved the transfer, stating that the process could have occurred earlier as multiple dates were proposed. The Defense Ministry body emphasized its ongoing efforts to facilitate medical transfers, particularly for children, and encouraged international cooperation, while also criticizing Hamas for allegedly exploiting such situations.
