This is the first time civilians have been allowed to leave Gaza since the war began.
ISMAILIA: Seventy-six wounded Palestinians and 335 foreigners or dual nationals were allowed to cross from the war-torn Gaza Strip for Egypt on Wednesday, an Egyptian official at the Rafah crossing said.
By 4.30pm local time, ambulances had transported 76 wounded Palestinians into Egypt and six buses took 335 foreign passport holders, the official told AFP, who was reached by phone in Ismailia. “The Rafah terminal will open again on Thursday to allow the passage of more foreigners and dual citizens,” a security source told AFP.
“I just spoke with the first four Italians to leave the Gaza Strip. They are tired but in good health, assisted by the Italian consul in Cairo. We continue to work to get everyone else out,” he added.
