Over 80,000 Palestinians have fled to Egypt, ambassador says

Between 80,000 and 100,000 Palestinians have entered Egypt from Gaza since 7 October when the war broke out, the Palestinian ambassador to Cairo said.

Ambassador Diab Allouh told AFP that the Palestinians had crossed the border without elaborating on how they entered. The Rafah border crossing stands as the only gateway in and out of Gaza not directly supervised by Israeli forces.
