Egypt is set to open up its southern border with Gaza to let foreign nationals and aid through on Monday, after days of waiting.
Palestine's representative for the Rafah border with Egypt, has confirmed that Palestinians with foreign citizenships can go through to Egypt at 9am local time on Monday. Humanitarian aid will start crossing over into Gaza at that time.It comes after Israel said it was gearing up for an invasion of northern Gaza in an attempt to wipe out Hamas. The country told Palestinians to make their way to the south of the territory to avoid the fighting.
It is unclear what is going to happen to Palestinians who do not have any other citizenship. Hundreds of thousands have flocked to the southern Gaza city of Khan Younis, which is creaking under the strain of the displaced people who have doubled its population overnight. Israel has been bombarding Gaza and had turned off the water and electricity in the territory. Reports emerged on Sunday water had come back on in the south of Gaza.
