nov 1, 2023 - British Nationals Allowed to Leave Gaza

Description:

British nationals have left Gaza for the first time since war with Israel broke out last month.

The UK Foreign Office confirmed an unspecified number of UK passport holders had been able to leave via the Rafah crossing into Egypt on Wednesday.

It said the route was being opened for "controlled and time-limited periods" to allow some foreign nationals and injured Palestinians to leave.

About 200 British nationals are believed to be in Gaza.

It emerged on Wednesday that some 500 people a day would be allowed through the crossing, which is controlled by Egyptian authorities.
