Egypt opened the Rafah crossing, enabling scores of foreign passport holders to leave Gaza amid the Israel-Hamas conflict. While details on the exact number of departures remain unclear, live footage showed crowds entering the terminal. Over 200 aid trucks entered Gaza, but no people were allowed to flee. Approximately 400 foreigners and dual nationals were expected to cross. The Gaza Strip, enduring Israeli bombardment since October 7, witnessed severe shortages of essentials. Egypt also permitted 81 seriously ill Palestinians for medical treatment, condemning an Israeli strike on Jabalia camp that claimed at least 50 lives.
