Italy's government received 114 Palestinian evacuees from Gaza on Wednesday night, including 31 children in need of medical assistance.

The young patients are all affected either by severe injuries and amputations or serious congenital diseases, according to the Italian Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

The Italian Air Force flew the evacuees over in three C-130 cargo airplanes from the southern city of Eilat in Israel.

One of the planes, carrying six patients and 22 of their relatives, landed at Rome’s military airport.

The others landed in Pisa and Milan, carrying 12 and 13 young patients respectively.

The Palestinians were then transferred by ambulance to various hospitals.

Italy has carried out 14 medical evacuations since January 2024.

Since the beginning of the war following the October 7 attack by Hamas in 2023, Italy has evacuated more than 900 Palestinians from Gaza, including those who have arrived for family reunification.
