First group of foreigners arrive in Egypt after Rafah crossing opens

The first group of foreigners and injured Palestinians evacuated after the Rafah border crossing re-opened arrived in Egypt from Gaza on Sunday, four Egyptian security sources told Reuters.

Several injured Palestinians arrived on Egyptian soil to receive medical treatment, plus 80 foreign nationals and dependents, with more undergoing border procedures, the sources said.

Evacuations through the border crossing were suspended on Friday after issues regarding transporting injured Palestinians from northern Gaza.
