There are around 350 people at the Rafah border crossing into Egypt waiting to have their IDs checked. Up until now, 150 people have crossed the border by taking buses.
There is no electronic system or passport stamping right now – everything is not working. There is currently a civilian Palestinian officer who checks passports. Only the people on a list of approved individuals are allowed to leave.
From here, they will be taken directly to Egypt where they will go through passport control.
There is another gate for cars to go through about 20 meters away from me.
We have seen many ambulances going to Egypt. They are carrying people who are very hurt.
From there, they will be moved to a field hospital that is about 10km (6 miles) away and then sent for more medical care.
Date:
At least 20 ambulances and 150 passengers enter Egypt
