Japan considering accepting Gazans for medical aid: PM

Japanese Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba said his government is considering offering medical support in Japan to Palestinians from the Gaza Strip.

"We're making efforts to find ways to accept people in Japan who have fallen ill or been injured in Gaza," Ishiba told a parliamentary session, AzVision.az reports, citing Anadolu Agency.

He added that Japan will also try to launch a special program for Palestinian students to study at Japanese universities.

Last month during a visit to Malaysia, Ishiba said his country would facilitate the development of Palestine.

Later, Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim said his government will establish a fund along with Japan to build hospitals, schools and mosques in Gaza which have been destroyed by Israel’s genocidal war since October 2023.

A ceasefire agreement between the Palestinian group Hamas and Israel took hold in Gaza on Jan. 19, halting the war, which has caused widespread destruction and left the enclave in ruins.
