Foreign nationals enter Gaza’s Rafah border crossing with Egypt
Foreign nationals who have been trapped in the Gaza Strip are getting ready to leave the Palestinian territory and cross into Egypt through the Rafah crossing on Wednesday.
A first batch is in the transit area of the crossing, Raed Abdel-Nasser, the Secretary General of the Egyptian Red Crescent in North Sinai, said.
They were waiting in the Palestinian part of the crossing to finalise their procedures to enter Egypt.
More than 500 foreigners and Palestinians with dual nationalities are expected to leave.
Egypt’s local media showed dozens of people gathered inside the crossing.
Egypt has also deployed ambulances at the crossing to transfer injured Palestinians to Egyptian hospitals for treatment.
