RAMALLAH, April 29, 2018 (WAFA) – Israel Sunday approved the transfer of a wounded Palestinian from the Gaza Strip to the West Bank to receive necessary medical treatment.

According to the General Authority for Civil Affairs, Yusef Qatrawi was shot by the Israeli army forces during the protests along the Gaza borders. The bullets hit the thigh area and he might require amputation to save his life if he remains in the Gaza Strip.

Qatraqi is scheduled to be moved Sunday night after extensive efforts were exerted from the Palestinian side to obtain approval for him to be moved to receive the appropriate medical care.
