A total of 637 foreign nationals were evacuated from Gaza to Egypt through the Rafah border crossing on Tuesday, an Egyptian border official told a journalist working for CNN in Rafah.
The total is the highest daily number since the evacuations began last week. The Rafah crossing had been closed since the war began last month, but was opened last week as part of a deal brokered by Qatar between Israel, Hamas and Egypt, in coordination with the US.
In addition, 15 wounded Palestinians arrived in Egypt for treatment through the crossing, the official added.
According to a CNN tally, this brings the total number of wounded Palestinians with severe injuries sustained from Israeli airstrikes in Gaza who have been transferred to Egypt to 116.
