More than 560 foreign nationals departed Gaza for Egypt on Monday, border official says
Ten buses carrying 564 foreign nationals departed the Gaza Strip for Egypt via the Rafah crossing on Monday, an Egyptian border official told a journalist working with CNN at the crossing.
The official detailed that some 97 aid relief trucks also made their way into the Gaza Strip, loaded with essential supplies such as food, water, relief items, medical equipment, and medications.
Before the conflict, the United Nations reported that about 455 trucks on average would enter daily with aid supplies.
In addition, the official said that four injured Palestinians have been allowed entry into Egypt, each accompanied by another person.
Among the injured evacuees Monday was a 59-year-old with grave head injuries who was transported in an ambulance. Another evacuee, a 38-year-old woman, arrived with a fractured right limb and meningitis, conditions she developed after being trapped for six days under the rubble of her bombed house, according to someone accompanying her.
