Hamas suspends evacuation of foreign passport holders, dual nationals from Gaza
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleGaza’s Hamas rulers have suspended the evacuation of foreign passport holders to Egypt Saturday after Israel refused to allow some wounded Palestinians to be evacuated to Egyptian hospitals, a border official tells AFP.
“No foreign passport holder will be able to leave the Gaza Strip until wounded people who need to be evacuated from hospitals in north Gaza are transported through the Rafah crossing” to Egypt, the official says on condition of anonymity.
The official doesn’t give any information on the identities of the wounded. A senior US administration official said yesterday that Hamas has tried to smuggle its fighters out of Gaza among the wounded Palestinians.
