Amidst the devastation of Israel’s bombardment on Gaza, hundreds of foreign passport-holders and wounded Palestinians gathered at the Rafah crossing, seeking escape from the war-torn enclave. The first group, including 335 foreign passport-holders and critically wounded patients, crossed into the Sinai peninsula after weeks of negotiations between Egypt, Israel, and Hamas. However, confusion and frustration prevailed as many found themselves stranded after the roll-call ended. The departure raised questions about the selection process, with a Google spreadsheet listing those cleared for departure leaving many uncertainties. While the terms of the deal remain undisclosed, the State Department assures that more foreign nationals will be allowed to cross in the coming days.
