Some Hungarian families and other foreigners managed to leave Gaza

 


  Two families from Hungary and their Palestinian relatives were able to get permission to leave Gaza, even though they were in a dangerous place with chaotic scenes and the scary sounds of air raids and shrapnel. On Wednesday, it was found that the people in question were on the list of people who were allowed to go away . When they got to Egypt, cars from the Hungarian embassy were waiting for them there after their dangerous trip.On the other hand seven other people of Hungary have decided not to go on the trip to the Rafah crossing right now.

There were air raids ,difficulty to find transportation .It is one hour ride from Gaza city to Raffah crossing . There is no fuel .

For the first time since October 7, the border crossing in the Gaza Strip was opened to refugees. The agreement was negotiated by Qatar, with help from the US.

The transition to a the border was not smooth, with daily lists of allowed crossings revealing the names of 76 wounded Palestinians and 335 foreign nationals, with Palestinians transported to hospitals in Egyptian ambulances.
