Five Greek citizens from the monastery of St. Porphyry in the Gaza Strip are already in Egypt


Yesterday, November 12, five Greek citizens and their relatives, who were in the monastery of St. Porphyry in Gaza, crossed the Egyptian border.

About it reported Greek Ministry of Foreign Affairs. According to the agency, a family of seven crossed the border from the Gaza Strip into Egypt through the Rafah border crossing. They are planning to move to Greece in the near future.

Over the course of yesterday, 826 foreign nationals were evacuated from the Gaza Strip through the Rafah crossing into Egypt, an Egyptian border guard told CNN. This is the largest number of citizens to leave the Gaza Strip in one day since the start of the war.

Nine wounded Palestinians also crossed into Egypt, a government official said. Rafah is the only crossing open during Israel’s siege of the enclave, making it key to efforts to deliver aid and move people out.
