Norway says it has 170 citizens trying to leave Gaza

The Norwegian government says that as of yesterday evening, there are 170 of their nationals who want assistance from Norway to leave Gaza.

Foreign Minister Anniken Huitfeldt says that “the situation in Gaza is unclear and is getting worse with every passing hour.”

Speaking of leaving Gaza via the Rafah border crossing with Egypt, Huitfeldt says, “We cannot guarantee that it will be possible for Norwegian citizens to cross (there). The border can be both opened and closed at short notice.”
