Gaza Strip evacuation
The only border crossing between the Gaza Strip and Egypt remains closed.
On October 15, the U.S. Secretary of State, Antony Blinken, announced the opening of the Rafah Crossing in Egypt for the evacuation of Gaza citizens. However, the crossing has yet to be opened.
Meanwhile, Ukraine has already organized three evacuation flights from Israel for its citizens.
