Over 600 people left Gaza at Rafah border crossing: Hamas

A total of 644 people travelled through the Rafah border crossing from Gaza into Egypt on Wednesday, said Wael Abou Omar, the Hamas spokesperson for the border crossing.

Those included 587 dual nationals, 37 people either injured or sick, and 20 of their companions. No more information was immediately available.

Earlier at the Rafah border, dozens of evacuees were waiting patiently with their documentation ready for inspection. Among them was Toqa al-Zaian, a Palestinian with Norwegian nationality, struggling to say goodbye.

“I feel like my body is leaving without my soul, now I am leaving everything behind, my mother, family and everyone I know,” she said. (AP)
