The Rafah border crossing will be opened on Wednesday for a number of Palestinians who have been injured in Gaza to complete their treatment in Egyptian hospitals, Egyptian medical and security sources as well as a Palestinian border official say.
The General Authority for Crossings and Borders in Gaza said Egyptian authorities told it that 81 Palestinians would be allowed to leave.
A medical official in the Egyptian city of El Arish told the AFP news agency that medical teams would be at the crossing to “examine the cases coming [from Gaza] as soon as they arrive … and determine the hospitals they will be sent to”.
A security source at the Rafah crossing confirmed the information, AFP added
