New Zealand’s government has said 11 New Zealanders left Gaza overnight on Sunday and entered Egypt via the Rafah border crossing, according to Reuters.

A Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade (MFAT) spokeswoman in an email said the people were met by a New Zealand consular team and provided with support.

The MFAT spokeswoman said New Zealand is working around the clock to get its remaining citizens and permanent residents out of Gaza.
