If anyone wants proof of how the Egyptians are "suffocating" the Strip and only sparingly allow Gazans to leave it, they should read the following data. The governor of North Sinai, Muhammad Abdel Fadil Shusha, said yesterday (Tuesday) that about 10,000 people have crossed the Rafah crossing from the Gaza Strip to the Egyptian side since the beginning of the war on October 7, some of them Gazans.
Shusha stated: "Since the beginning of the Israeli aggression on Gaza, about 1,500 wounded and sick Palestinian residents of Gaza have passed through Rafah for treatment in hospitals in Egypt and in several sister and friendly countries. They were accompanied by about 2,000 relatives. In addition, about 2,400 foreigners and Palestinians with dual citizenship left, and about 4,000 Egyptians who were stuck in the Gaza Strip."
In other words, Egypt has only allowed about 3,500 Gazans to leave in more than four months of war."
