The Egyptian health ministry reports that 344 foreign nationals passed through the Rafah border crossing between Gaza and Egypt on Thursday, marking the second day that the border has been open. Among them was a family of five South Korean nationals.
Dozens of injured Palestinians were also moved out from the war-ravaged strip for medical treatment. The Egyptian government said it plans to help evacuate around 7-thousand foreigners and dual nationals from the Gaza Strip, without providing a specific timeline.
