A deal on the Rafah crossing has been brokered to allow some critically injured people out of Gaza.
Dozens of people have been seen entering the Rafah crossing from Gaza to Egypt. It appeared to be the first time foreign passport holders have been allowed to leave since Israel sent its forces into Gaza in retaliation for a major attack by Hamas on October 7. Hundreds have gathered at the crossing at different times in recent weeks but have not been allowed out due to disagreements among Egypt, Israel and Hamas.
Hamas has told mediators it will soon release some of the 200 or so foreign captives it had taken during the attack on Israel, Abu Ubaida, the spokesperson of the group's armed wing, al-Qassam Brigades, said in a video on the Telegram app. He gave no further details on the number of captives or their nationalities. Egypt has prepared a field hospital in Sheikh Zuwayed in the Sinai, according to medical sources.
