Palestinian patients arriving in Egypt via Rafah crossing: health official

Palestinians patients and war-wounded began arriving in Egypt via the Rafah border crossing with the Gaza Strip on Monday, an Egyptian health official told AFP.

“They have begun arriving in Egyptian ambulances, accompanied by several escorts,” the official at the border said, speaking on condition of anonymity because they were not authorised to brief the media.

“Three ambulances have arrived so far carrying a number of the sick and injured, who were immediately screened upon arrival to determine to which hospital they will be transferred.”
