Japan has accepted one female Palestinian injured in the war in the Gaza Strip for medical treatment, with plans to accept a second female patient in the coming days, the government has revealed.

The first patient was admitted into a Self-Defense Forces hospital in Tokyo on Wednesday, after receiving treatment in Egypt, according to the Foreign Ministry.
