REUTERS/Ibraheem Abu MustafaCAIRO – 14 October 2023: Egypt refused to allow foreign citizens, including Americans stranded at the Rafah border crossing, to leave the strip through it: officials from Gaza told Al Qahera News channel. Egypt conditioned that the Rafah border crossing should be also for sending humanitarian aid to Palestinians who are under the Israeli attack and besiege, the officials added. The Israeli call reflects how Israel is working to expel all Palestinians from their lands and violating international laws and norms. Israel has 2,215 martyrs and wounded 8,714 others in the Gaza Strip, while in the West Bank, the number of martyrs reached 54 people and about 1,100 were injured.
