STORYLINE:
The World Health Organization said it evacuated 85 β€œsick and severely injured" Palestinians from war-ravaged Gaza to the United Arab Emirates on Tuesday.

The U.N. health agency said the evacuation, which was coordinated with the UAE government, included 50 adults and 35 children, all of whom were transported across Kerem Shalom crossing and into Israel.

They departed the country from Ramon Airport in Israel’s deep south.

Of the 85 evacuees, 53 were cancer patients while an additional 63 family members and companions accompanied them.

Some 5,000 people have been evacuated outside of the enclave for treatment since the breakout of the war, with over 80% receiving care in Egypt, Qatar and the UAE, the U.N. agency said.

Rafah crossing, which connects Gaza and Egypt, had been the main exit point for Palestinians leaving the war-stricken enclave and entry point for humanitarian aid, but has not been operational since Israel launched its ground offensive on areas of the southern city in early May.
