Egypt opens Rafah border crossing to wounded Palestinians

Egypt today opened its Rafah border crossing between the Gaza Strip and the Sinai Peninsula to allow the evacuation of the wounded Palestinian people.
"North Sinai hospitals announced the state of emergency and (are) ready to receive the injured from the Strip. We also provided many fully medical equipped ambulances to help and transport them to hospitals," Major General Abdel Fattah Harhor, Governor of North Sinai, told a TV channel.
Egyptian Minister of Health Adel Adawy said Egypt delayed the opening of the Rafah crossing border until today, when 30 ambulance vehicles were deployed to transfer the injured to hospitals for treatment.

Egypt condemned the Israeli air raids and killing of civilians in the Gaza Strip. It has sent 15 tonnes of medical requirements to Gaza.
Tens of youth from Arish, Rafah Sheikh Zuweid and Be'r el-Abd cities formed volunteering groups to receive the injured and to donate blood.
Israeli jets hit more than 780 targets in the Hamas-ruled Gaza Strip by third day of conflict today killing at least 31 more people, taking the total death toll to 82.
