Turkey has evacuated 33 more wounded Palestinians from the Gaza Strip for medical treatment.

The Palestinians were initially transferred from Gaza Strip to Tel Aviv’s Ben Gurion Airport on Aug. 28, where the Turkish Ministry of Health National Medical Rescue Team (UMKE) provided preliminary treatment.

A military aircraft then brought most of the wounded Gazans to Turkey’s Afyonkarahisar province, while four were taken under treatment in the capital city of Ankara.

Some 46 Gazans were earlier airlifted by Turkish planes from Israel and were treated in Turkish hospitals.
