A Canadian man in Gaza says his wife and children arrived at a border crossing with Egypt several hours ago after Global Affairs Canada told them they would be able to leave the beseiged Palestinian territory today.
Mansour Shouman, who isn't leaving Gaza himself, says he said goodbye to his wife and five children and got a message from them a few hours ago that they were at the Rafah crossing, but hasn't heard more from them since.
An approved evacuation list from the General Authority for Border Crossings in Gaza lists about 80 people connected to Canada who have been granted permission to leave through the Rafah border crossing. The Canadian embassy in Egypt has said it has a team of consular officials ready to assist Canadians, permanent residents and their family members as soon as they cross at Rafah into Egypt. A bus is to take them to their accommodations in Cairo.
