Canadians trapped in the Gaza Strip who were previously told they could be allowed out over the weekend will have to wait longer to escape the besieged Palestinian territory.
The General Authority for Border Crossings in Gaza says the Rafah border crossing into Egypt reopened on Monday to allow foreigners whose names were on approved lists to exit the Gaza Strip after the border crossing closed over the weekend amid escalating attacks from Israel.
The crossing is the only exit point for foreign nationals who wish to leave the Palestinian territory, which has been under constant bombardment since the Israeli army launched retaliatory attacks for the brutal Oct. 7 incursion by Hamas. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said he thanked Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi on Sunday for supporting the departure of foreign nationals from Gaza, including Canadians and their families.
