A first group of foreign passport holders in Gaza passed through the Rafah terminal to Egypt on Wednesday, live TV footage showed.

It's the first time the Rafah crossing has opened from Gaza's side since the start of the conflict between Hamas and Israel on October 7.

Previously, Gaza Borders and Crossings Authority published a list of more than 500 foreigners and dual citizenship holders, asking them to head towards the Rafah crossing on Wednesday morning in order to leave Gaza.

And some 81 seriously injured Palestinians were also allowed to leave Gaza to Egypt, according to Al Jazeera and Egyptian news.
