Fifteen US citizens were among 748 foreign nationals who left the Gaza Strip for Egypt via the Rafah crossing on Thursday, according to an Egyptian official, Paralel.Az reports.

Heading in the opposite direction, 103 trucks entered Gaza through Rafah today, including 80 aid trucks — four of which carried cooking gas — and 23 trucks carrying commercial goods, the official said.

The number of trucks crossing was marginally higher than on Wednesday, and in line with the daily average.

Before the conflict, the United Nations reported an average daily delivery of 455 trucks carrying commercial goods to Gaza.
