- Egypt prepared on Wednesday for injured Gazans and some foreign passport holders to start arriving through the Rafah crossing after Qatar brokered a deal between Egypt, Israel and Hamas to allow for limited evacuations from the Gaza Strip.
A Palestinian border authority source and two Egyptian security sources said 81 injured people would enter Egypt for treatment on Wednesday. Medical sources in Egypt's Sinai region, which borders Gaza, said a field hospital of four tents, each containing 20 beds, and 12 medical caravans had been set up in Sheikh Zuweid, 15km from Rafah.
In addition, 70 aid trucks were in the Rafah area, going through the process of checks required before they can go into Gaza, under an existing agreement with Israel.
