Around 550 Palestinians from Gaza left the Strip today for various countries, in a move coordinated by Israel’s Coordinator of Government Activities in the Territories.
Most of those who exited Gaza today are sick Palestinians and their caregivers, COGAT says.
COGAT says they headed to the United Arab Emirates, Jordan, the United Kingdom, Belgium, Romania and other countries in the European Union.
“So far, over 5,000 residents have left the Gaza Strip through the Allenby Crossing or Ramon Airport,” it adds.
