Gazans who have been receiving medical treatment at Emirates Humanitarian City in Abu Dhabi are preparing to return home. The humanitarian center has been a refuge for thousands of Palestinians since 2023, amid the Israel-Gaza conflict. Among them is 59-year-old Ibtisam Salout, a mother of nine and grandmother of 45. Salout, who arrived in the UAE in 2023 for breast cancer treatment, is cancer-free and eager to reunite with her family.
She expressed gratitude for the care provided by the UAE, stating that she will visit Gaza before heading home. The UAE has helped 1,000 cancer patients and 1,000 injured children from Gaza. While patients are allowed escorts, Salout did not have one. She emphasized the importance of returning home but acknowledged the deep connections formed with Emiratis during her stay.
The UAE continues to provide medical treatment to around 3,000 Gazans at the humanitarian city, with plans for their eventual return home.
