SOUNDBITE (Arabic) Adnan al-Borsh, head of the orthopedic department at Shifa Hospital: "At the ministry of health, we have a long list of cases that require travel abroad and need treatment. And, of course, the presence of this delegation here in Gaza saves us a lot of trouble that comes with travel and spares people the financial difficulty that comes from seeking treatment abroad. We have contacted a lot of these patients and evaluated a large number of the cases. Now many of them are getting operations. The delegation's visit to Gaza continues, it will last for 10 days. During that time, we will see as many patients as possible and perform as many surgeries as possible. There is also an exchange of experiences between the local teams and the teams coming from Egypt." 6. Various of Egyptian eye surgeon Hani Nasr performing surgery   7. SOUNDBITE (Arabic) Hani Nasr, Egyptian eye surgeon: "We are a delegation from Egypt with different specialties (of medicine): cardiac issues, heart surgery, orthopedics, blood vessels, general surgery and the eyes. We are here to support our brothers in Palestine and exchange experiences with the doctors here, and help with surgery in various specialties. In the eye specialty, we've inspected 50 patients each day over the past two days, so we have seen 100 patients. We have classified them into cases that can be treated here, that we can help here, and cases that cannot be treated here. We will coordinate to make arrangements to bring them to Cairo, God willing." 8. Various of Egyptian doctor with Palestinian doctors performing surgery LEADIN: An Egyptian medical team is visiting the Gaza Strip to provide rare access to adequate health care in a territory whose health system has been battered by wars and chronic power cuts. Gaza's medical sector is also short on equipment and medication because of an Israeli-Egyptian blockade that limits the movement of goods and people in and out of the enclave. STORYLINE: A team of 10 doctors from Egypt is in Gaza performing surgeries as part of an aid mission to the conflict-scarred coastal enclave of two million people. The mission offers some help to Gazans who largely lack access to adequate medical facilities and rarely travel abroad for treatment because of a 15-year Israeli-Egyptian blockade. Doctors said on Sunday that they have seen hundreds of patients seeking medical treatment for eye, bone, heart and vascular issues. "We want to perform as many operations as possible and help as much as we can," said Egyptian orthopedic surgeon Osama Tarraf. The much-needed medical treatment from abroad is critical for the patients who either do not have access to proper health care in Gaza or cannot afford it. =========================================================== Clients are reminded: Find out more about AP Archive: http://www.aparchive.com/HowWeWork Twitter:   / ap_archive   Facebook:   / aparchives   ​​ Instagram:   / apnews   You can license this story through AP Archive: http://www.aparchive.com/metadata/you...
