Hundreds Escape Gaza Using Rafah Crossing into Egypt

People have started leaving Gaza through the Rafah crossing into Egypt for the first time since the start of the conflict.

It has been reported around 80 injured Palestinians and 500 foreign nationals will be allowed to pass through the crossing today.

Hundreds of foreign nationals have been trapped in Gaza since the start of the conflict.

It is thought the opening of the crossing is the result of a deal brokered by Qatar between Egypt, Israel, Hamas and the US.
