(Jerusalem Post) Judy Siegel-Itzkovich - Israeli hospitals are treating dozens of patients who came to Israel from Gaza to get healthcare unavailable there. "We at Rambam Medical Center are taking care of sick children and adults, and we are not looking at their religion or where they come from," said Rambam director-general Prof. Rafael Beyar. "It's absurd that we are doing this at the same time Israelis are being attacked, but there is no other way." Beyar said he had received no reports of any tension among Jewish and Arab personnel in his medical center. "We are used to working together to save lives." Sheba Medical Center at Tel Hashomer said that it provides medical care to several dozen Palestinians each month. Tel Aviv's Sourasky Medical Center said 50 patients and their accompanying relatives from Gaza are now at the hospital.
