Agreement reached to allow foreigners to leave Gaza amid mass Palestinian evacuation from north

The Egyptian government has announced that the Rafah border crossing will be reopened to allow foreign nationals to leave Gaza.

Deir Al-Balah (Gaza Strip) | Egypt, Israel and the United States have agreed to allow foreigners in Gaza to pass through the Rafah border crossing into Egypt, a senior Egyptian official says.

The official said Saturday that Israel has agreed to refrain from striking areas the foreigners would pass through on their way out of the besieged Palestinian territory. He said Qatar also was involved in the negotiations and the participants received also approval from the Palestinian militant groups, Hamas and Islamic Jihad.

A second official at the Egyptian side of the Rafah crossing point said they received “instructions” to reopen it on Saturday afternoon for foreigners coming from Gaza.

The first official said negotiations were still underway to allow the delivery of humanitarian aid to Gaza through the crossing point.

Both officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorised to brief media.

Israel has ordered a mass evacuation of Palestinians from the northern Gaza Strip.
