Hundreds of foreign passport holders, including dual Palestinian nationals, left Gaza via the Rafah border crossing to Egypt.
At least 320 foreign nationals entered Egypt from Gaza on Tuesday after the Rafah crossing closed over the weekend, Reuters news agency reported, citing Egyptian sources.
Rafah was closed on Saturday and Sunday after an Israeli attack on an ambulance traveling there. It reopened on Monday with a limited number of people passing through, according to Reuters.
Of those who crossed the border, only four were injured Palestinians who would be treated in Egypt, a medical source told the news agency.
The United States has helped more than 400 of its citizens, legal permanent residents and other eligible individuals leave Gaza since the war began on Oct. 7, a State Department spokesperson said. A group of Canadian nationals and their dependents also left Gaza on Tuesday.
More than 100 French nationals and their families have been evacuated from the Gaza Strip, the French Ministry of Europe and Foreign Affairs said. Meanwhile, 100 Egyptians passed through Rafah, an Egyptian security source said, while the Jordanian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates said 262 Jordanians were evacuated out of the 569 stranded in Gaza.
