DOZENS of patients have been sent for treatment from the war-ravaged Gaza Strip, where the United Nations says Israel's attacks on and around hospitals have pushed healthcare to the brink of complete collapse.

Forty-five patients left the European Hospital in the southern city of Khan Younis early today and travelled through the Kerem Shalom Crossing into Israel, Palestinian health officials said. 

They will receive treatment in the United Arab Emirates.
