Qatar says Hamas 'promises' hostages received medicines, but offers no proof
These are medications defined as “vital” and intended primarily for hostages with chronic illnesses
In a recent development, Qatar has informed both Israel and France that Hamas has purportedly agreed to ensure that hostages receive the essential medicines delivered to them in the Gaza Strip.
However, as of now, no concrete evidence has been provided to substantiate this claim. The French and Israeli authorities are exerting pressure on Qatar to furnish proof of the medication delivery.
Last month, Qatar facilitated the transfer of these crucial drugs to Gaza following a comprehensive list compiled with input from the hostages' respective doctors. The medications in question are deemed "vital," primarily aimed at addressing chronic illnesses among the hostages.
This development comes amidst ongoing efforts to address the welfare and medical needs of the hostages held in Gaza, with international stakeholders closely monitoring the situation for further updates.
