The number of evacuees moving from Gaza into Egypt has risen a day after the Rafah border crossing was re-opened, Reuters reports.

At least 320 foreign nationals and dependents passed through the Rafah crossing on Tuesday, the only border crossing not controlled by Israel, along with 100 Egyptians, an Egyptian security source said.

The border crossing was closed on Saturday and Sunday after an Israeli strike on an ambulance that was heading to Rafah. Egyptian security sources said Egypt was continuing to press for increased aid and fuel into the strip and security for ambulances.

However, only four injured Gazans were allowed through, a medical source said, to join dozens of others who are being treated in Egyptian hospitals.
