The first ambulances carrying wounded Palestinians from war-torn Gaza have entered Egypt via the Rafah crossing, an Egyptian official said, speaking on condition of anonymity, AFP reports.

Live footage shown on television stations had shown the ambulances entering the Egyptian side of the Rafah terminal to bring back what officials said would be around 90 of the most seriously sick and wounded Palestinians for treatment in Egyptian hospitals.
