Secretary of State Antony Blinken is expected to push Israel to engage in “humanitarian pauses” in its invasion of Gaza during a trip to the Middle East, a senior administration official said.
CAIRO — A group of foreign nationals and dual citizens have left Gaza for Egypt through the Rafah border crossing, in the war’s first such passage of civilians out of the enclave after weeks of failed evacuation bids and negotiations. The limited opening of the crossing also allowed for some injured Palestinians to enter Egypt for treatment as Gaza’s hospitals collapse under Israeli strikes and siege.
It has also provided the only route for aid convoys to enter the Palestinian territory. Since the first aid delivery reached Gaza nearly two weeks ago, trucks have brought in medicine, food and a limited supply of drinking water. But humanitarian officials warn the aid is nowhere near enough for the more than 2 million Gaza residents in peril, with dwindling supplies and no way to flee.
