Government Media Office spokesperson Salama Maruf said in a tweet that there are people from 16 different nationalities in that group. The EFE office was able to verify on site that at least four buses carrying between 50 and 60 people left the Strip today in the direction of Egypt.
EFE was able to verify on the spot the departure of buses from the Palestinian enclave, on the second day of an operation to evacuate foreigners and Palestinians with passports from other countries, as well as injured people, from Gaza.
For its part, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has Egypt has estimated the total number of Palestinians with foreign passports and nationals of other countries who will arrive in their country today at 7,000 people, from 60 nationalities.
Yesterday, Egyptian ambulances evacuated dozens of seriously injured people after Israeli bombings. Hospitals in Gaza have been overwhelmed for days and are unable to care for the numerous victims. A total of 16 hospitals have been decommissioned in Gaza due to Israeli bombardments and a lack of fuel, Gaza’s Health Ministry said.
Among the affected hospitals is the Turkish-Palestinian Friendship Hospital, the only one in Gaza that treats cancer patients, which no longer works because it has run out of fuel and has now suffered damage from Israeli attacks.
According to data updated today by the Ministry of Health in Gaza 9,061 people have died, including 3,760 minors.
The opening of Rafah also prompted nearly 400 people with foreign passports to cross the border linking the Strip with Egypt. Among these people, two are said to be of Spanish nationality: one from Doctors Without Borders (MSF) and another from the Office of the UN Special Coordinator for the Middle East Process (UNSCO).
Today, the passage will be reopened for the second day in a row to carry out this evacuation.
