Israeli doctors enter Gaza for first time since Hamas takeover

For the first time since the Hamas takeover, three Arab Israeli doctors from the rights group "Physicians for Human Rights" entered Gaza Wednesday in order to administer medical treatment to Gazan residents.

The doctors brought with them medical supplies and medications. The doctors decided on the visit after a number of requests were sent regarding the lack of medical supplies and services in Gaza.

The three doctors entered via the Erez Crossing and were escorted to Shifa Hospital in Gaza City. They are expected to return to Israel on Wednesday evening.
