Cairo, Egypt – Egypt is preparing to treat wounded Palestinians from the bombarded Gaza Strip starting Wednesday, with the opening of a border crossing to people after weeks of war, medical and security sources said.
“Medical teams will be present tomorrow at the crossing to examine the cases coming as soon as they arrive… and determine the hospitals they will be sent to,” a medical official in Egypt’s city of El Arish told AFP. The United States voiced hope that hundreds of Palestinian-Americans stuck in Gaza would be able to leave through Rafah.
He said that the United States would inform US citizens in Gaza to head to Rafah “as soon as we have actionable information.” Foreign governments say that people from 44 countries and 28 agencies, including UN bodies, are living in the Gaza Strip, where 2.4 million people have been living through bombardment without water or electricity and with little food after Israel tightened its 16-year blockade further in response to the Hamas attacks.
