- Turkey’s Parliament announces boycotting products of companies support Israel
Egyptian Authorities say they have allowed a dozen Palestinian children in Gaza, who have cancer, to cross the Rafah border, on Tuesday, for treatment in the country.
According to the ministry, medics have transferred the 12 children to specialised cancer hospitals.
Authorities, however, did not say whether the children travelled alone or if they allowed any family members or guardians to accompany them.
Evacuations out of Gaza stalled, on Friday, following a dispute among Israel, Egypt and Hamas.
Hundreds of trucks carrying aid have been allowed to enter Gaza from Egypt since Oct. 21.
But humanitarian workers say the aid is far short of mounting needs.
Egypt’s Rafah Crossing has also opened to allow hundreds of foreign passport holders and medical patients to leave Gaza.

Meanwhile, Turkey’s Parliament on Tuesday, announced it’s boycotting companies that support Israel, saying their products won’t be sold in any of its restaurants, cafeterias or teahouses.
This is contained in a statement from the Turkish Grand National Assembly, quoting parliament speaker, Numan Kurtulus.
Kurtulus made the decision in support of the “public sensitivities” toward the sale of products from companies that have allegedly “openly declared their support to Israel’s war crimes”.
The statement did not name any of the companies being shunned.
