Israel-Gaza war live updates: Injured Palestinians cross from Gaza to Egypt as foreign nationals wait to enter ForthMGN

Ambulances carried injured Palestinians from the Gaza Strip into Egypt through the Rafah border crossing on Wednesday for the first time since the war started, live footage showed. Foreign nationals and dual citizens, who were also expected to be allowed out of the besieged territory, were waiting at the border in Gaza. The crossing opened after weeks of negotiations between the U.S., Israeli and Egyptian governments and Hamas, with Qatar mediating the deal, according to a person briefed on the agreement. Earlier, the Hamas border authority called on hundreds of foreign nationals seeking to flee to go to the crossing, and said Egypt agreed to take in 81 injured people.
