A total of 353 foreign nationals have arrived in Egypt from Gaza through the Rafah border crossing on Friday, an Egyptian border official told CNN on the ground.
The border crossing remains open, but it is unclear if more will cross through today.
It was not immediately clear what nationalities had crossed into the country from the besieged enclave.
Some background: The exodus of the foreign nationals is the result of a deal announced Wednesday brokered by Qatar between Israel, Hamas and Egypt, in coordination with the US, that allows for the departure of those individuals, alongside critically injured civilians from Gaza, according to sources familiar with the talks. The agreement is separate from any hostage negotiations, the source added.
Earlier Friday, a convoy of Egyptian Red Crescent ambulances entered Gaza to retrieve wounded Palestinians, an Egyptian border official told CNN. So far, 48 injured Palestinian civilians have been transferred to Egypt for treatment.
