Among them was a family of five South Korean nationals. Dozens of injured Palestinians were also moved out from the war-ravaged strip for medical treatment. The Egyptian government said it plans to help evacuate around 7-thousand foreigners and dual nationals from the Gaza Strip, without providing a specific timeline. Rafah is the only Gazan border crossing that isn’t under Israeli control, and is a crucial gateway for humanitarian support. On Wednesday, the crossing opened for the first time since the Israel-Hamas war erupted, allowing at least 361 foreign nationals and 76 injured Palestinians to pass through. #344_foreign_nationals #Israel_Hamas_conflict #Israel_Palestine_war #Gaza_Strip #security #Middle_East #Rafah_crossing #Egypt #이스라엘_팔레스타인_전쟁 #이집트 #Arirang_News #아리랑뉴스 📣 Facebook : 📣 Twitter : 📣 Homepage : 2023-11-03, 09:00 (KST)
