Hundreds of foreign passport-holders leave Gaza for Egypt through Rafah crossing

FRANCE 24 correspondent Eduard Cousin reported from Cairo Thursday morning on the first wave of foreign passport-holders and wounded Gazans allowed through the Rafah border crossing into Egypt. Around 350 foreigners and dual nationals entered Egypt yesterday, having been included in a list of some 500 names.

“The first thing that’s going to happen today is that the remainder of that list can leave Gaza – there are still around 150 people on that list who didn’t get out yesterday who can get out today,” Cousin said.
