Medicine for Palestinians and Israeli Hostages Arrives in Gaza under Deal Struck by Qatar
(CNN) Helen Regan - Medicine for Palestinians and Israeli hostages has entered Gaza, Qatar said Wednesday, after an agreement it mediated. Hamas has stipulated that for every box of medication given to the hostages, Palestinians in Gaza must receive 1,000 boxes. At least a third of the hostages have chronic illnesses and require medications, said the Hostages and Missing Families Forum in Israel. "Others suffer from illnesses related to the harsh captivity conditions, which include mental and physical torture." However, the Israeli military said it does "not have the ability to guarantee" that medicine will reach the hostages.
