The electronic version of the daily Al Ahram stated that 33 wounded, who will receive medical treatment in national hospitals, and 70 accompanying persons entered the country on Tuesday.
On Saturday, 50 injured Palestinian children from Gaza arrived through Rafah, according to regional television stations.
As part of the compromise reached, the crossing is being managed by people linked to the government’s Fatah movement and the Palestinian National Authority, as well as a special unit of the European Union.
However, the Israeli Prime Minister’s Office stated that the Army is still deployed nearby and that ‘no one passes without prior inspection and approval’ from them.
Up to 50 wounded and 150 accompanying persons may leave each day for Egypt, although the figure may be higher, because children are not included.
The military incursion against the pass and the neighboring town of the same name, bordering Egypt, forced the closure of the only window that this coastal enclave had until then with the outside world.
On repeated occasions, countries, non-governmental organizations and various UN agencies called on the Israeli authorities to reopen Rafah and other crossings in order to increase the volume of humanitarian aid entering the besieged territory.
Since then, both the authorities in the Strip and the United Nations have been warning almost daily about the danger of imminent famine due to the lack of food, especially in the north.
Israel launched the operation with the argument of fighting Hamas and preventing the alleged smuggling of arms and ammunition from the Egyptian side, although Cairo repeatedly rejected this version.
