Preparations for receiving wounded from the Gaza Strip are now being carried out at the Rafah checkpoint, which is located on the border between Egypt and the Palestinian enclave. This information was reported by the news portal Sada El Balad.
According to the publication, at this checkpoint they are preparing to transport the seriously wounded to Egypt. It is clarified that this was achieved “after efforts to open a safe passage for urgent cases.”
It is also noted that the US and Swedish embassies notified their citizens located in the Gaza Strip of the need to arrive at the Rafah checkpoint for subsequent evacuation from the enclave.
As Reuters reported, the United States negotiated with Egypt and Israel and reached an agreement to expand the opening hours of the checkpoint from 12:00 to 17:00 local time. This creates more opportunities for the evacuation of wounded and other people in need from the Gaza Strip.
