Story summary

Thousands of Palestinian patients have returned to Gaza after receiving medical treatment abroad, reuniting with their loved ones after being separated for nearly three years. This comes as a result of Israel's systematic destruction of Gaza's healthcare system, which has forced thousands to seek treatment outside the enclave. However, despite these returns, thousands more Palestinians remain blocked by Israel from leaving Gaza to receive urgent medical care.

Why this leaning score
The use of the term 'systematic destruction' implies a strong negative judgment on Israel's actions, and frames them as the cause of the problem rather than one part of the conflict.
Written under an earlier scoring contract, which gave a paragraph rather than checkable quotes. Re-analysing this article replaces it.
