Canada appears to have been left off because local authorities prioritized countries with smaller numbers of people in Gaza. The Al Jazeera news service, which has journalists on the Gaza side of the Rafah crossing, reported what it called “huge queues” of people that formed at the border Wednesday, and an atmosphere that is “very chaotic.” Live video images showed ambulances stationary at the border.
