PALESTINIAN GAZA ISRAEL CONFLICT
This picture taken on October 19, 2023 shows a view of the gate to the Rafah border crossing with Egypt in the southern Gaza Strip. – Palestinians in the war-torn Gaza Strip desperately awaited the arrival of aid trucks promised under a US deal struck with Egypt and Israel, as the army kept striking Hamas targets on October 19. The Gaza war — sparked by the bloody October 7 Hamas attack on Israel that officials said has claimed more than 1,400 lives — has set off a wave of fury across the Middle East against Israel and its Western allies.

May kabuuang 14 na Pinoy at 9 na Palestinians ang tumawid nitong Sabado sa Rafah Border Crossing sa pagitan ng Gaza Strip at Egypt na dumating sa Cairo.

Nakumpleto nito ang ikalawang batch ng 53 indibidwal na tumawid sa border ngunit naharang matapos na mabigo sa mga pagsusuri sa seguridad.

Malugod silang tinanggap ng Philippine Ambassador to Egypt Ezzedin H. Tago at ng International Organization for Migration (IOM), na tutulong sa kanila na makuha ang kanilang flight ticket sa Pilipinas.

Noong Biyernes, 42 Filipino at 8 Palestinian spouses ang dumating sa Cairo.

Inaasahang makauuwi sila sa Pilipinas ngayong gabi ng Sabado.
