The United Arab Emirates want to treat around 1,000 patients from Gaza in their clinics. Journalists are allowed to accompany an evacuation flight; SPIEGEL reporter Thore Schröder is on board.
The young patients on board suffer from burns, gunshot and shrapnel injuries. Some are dependent on wheelchairs, others can only be transported lying down. The journalists were not allowed to see the hospital or the warehouse. But our reporter was able to talk to evacuated people on the flight. The next morning, shortly before four in the morning, the plane lands back in Abu Dhabi.
