Egyptian security sources said that a group of foreigners and injured Palestinians who were evacuated from Gaza arrived in Egypt - today, Sunday - after the reopening of the Rafah crossing, with the continued Israeli aggression against the Gaza Strip since the seventh of last October.
The sources said that several injured Palestinians arrived in Egyptian territory to receive treatment, in addition to 80 holders of foreign nationalities and their families, while others are subject to transit procedures.
Evacuation operations through the crossing were stopped for the third time on Friday after obstacles in transporting injured Palestinians from the northern Gaza Strip.
The General Authority for Crossings and Borders announced on Saturday evening the resumption of operation of the Rafah crossing on Sunday, and called on travelers “holders of foreign passports listed on the travel lists” to go to the crossing.
Since November 1, dozens of wounded Palestinians have been evacuated to Egyptian hospitals, and hundreds of dual nationals and foreigners have left, including Americans, French, Russians, and Poles.
The Rafah crossing, which is the only crossing into the Gaza Strip that is not controlled by Israel, was closed on Friday and Saturday.
