During the visit, Megawer outlined Egypt’s efforts to receive injured and sick Palestinians arriving from Gaza and provide them with the necessary medical care and treatment. He also highlighted ongoing efforts to facilitate the entry of humanitarian and relief aid into the Strip amid the current humanitarian crisis.
