CAIRO – 22 October 2023: The United States will continue to work with Egypt and Israel around the clock in order to facilitate the exit of US citizens and their immediate family members to exit Gaza safely, President Joe Biden said on Saturday. The aid is delivered through the Rafah border crossing, which serves as the primary entry and exit point for the Gaza Strip, to alleviate the suffering of 2.3 million residents in Gaza. Also, Biden said earlier in a press conference the US will provide aid worth $100 million for Gaza and West Bank. The aid delivery to Gaza can mean the start of evacuation of third-country nationals from the strip. Informed sources affirmed earlier this month that Egyptian authorities have refused the evacuation of foreign residents from Gaza except as part of an aid delivery agreement.
