Qatar has mediated a deal between Egypt, Israel and Hamas to allow up to 500 foreign passport holders in Gaza to enter Egypt via the Rafah crossing. Sources at the border have indicated that the first group of evacuees have reached the Egyptian side of the Rafah. The General Authority for Crossings and Borders had earlier published a spreadsheet listing the names and personal details of the people who had been cleared to leave Gaza; the list includes at least 34 Australians, and 23 of them are among the foreign nationals to have reached Egypt. Some 88 Australians were in Gaza when hostilities commenced after the Hamas terrorist attack in Israel on 7 October.
