The first ambulances carrying wounded Palestinians from the Gaza Strip entered Egypt via the Rafah crossing on Wednesday, Egyptian media reported. 

At least one child was visible in one of the ambulances, shown in live footage, with officials saying around 90 of the most seriously wounded would be allowed to cross for treatment in Egyptian hospitals. 

The evacuation of the wounded, along with some foreign passport holders earlier on the day, was reportedly the result of a Qatar-brokered deal between Egypt, Israel and Hamas in coordination with the U.S.
