Gaza wounded taken to Egypt for medical treatment

Wounded Palestinians from Gaza were taken Sunday across the Rafah border crossing into Egypt for medical treatment as Israeli strikes continued to pummel the enclave, medical and border sources told AFP.

Three convoys of 263 Palestinians - including those wounded in the latest strikes as well as students and travellers with serious ailments - crossed into Rafah in the restive North Sinai region, the sources said.
