00:51 Mel, it's 1 o'clock in the afternoon here in Egypt,
00:55 where we were able to hear the news of the opening of the Rafah Border Crossing.
01:00 For the Palestinians, the situation is critical.
01:03 Aside from the wounded, there are also the civilians who were treated by the government,
01:08 including UN workers and those working in international aid organizations.
01:13 Our sources confirmed that two Filipino volunteers from an international organization in Gaza
01:19 are with the people who were allowed to leave today.
01:23 It's good news for the other Filipinos who have been waiting for three weeks.
01:27 Because of this, the Embassy is preparing here in Cairo to announce that the Filipinos are allowed to leave Gaza.
01:41 This is the moment when the Rafah Border Crossing Gate was opened on the Palestinian side of the Gaza Strip.
01:45 This is where the hundreds of Banyaga and dual citizens were able to escape the Gaza Strip
01:51 and go to the Egyptian side of the border.
01:53 The wounded were also allowed to leave.
01:56 The ambulances were able to follow them and they were allowed to enter the border.
02:00 The wounded Palestinians will be transferred to hospitals in North Sinai, Egypt.
02:07 In the video, you can see the help of the ambulances of the wounded patients
02:11 so that they can be given medical assistance.
02:13 This is what the Philippine officials have been waiting for a long time to escape
02:16 the 36 Filipinos who were trapped in the chaos there.
02:20 Diana, a Filipino, is with them. She is not a real name.
02:24 In my last conversation with them on Monday morning,
02:27 there were Filipinos who wanted to return to Gaza City
02:30 because they are staying with strangers in Rafah, near the border.
02:34 They said they wanted to return to Gaza because it is hard to live there.
02:40 They cannot go out because they are crying because they are not at home.
02:49 Even though they said they wanted to return to Gaza,
02:53 there is no offer to return.
02:56 The opening of the Rafah Border Crossing took place in the middle of Israel's continued attack on Gaza.
03:03 More than 50 Palestinians were added to the Israeli air strike
03:07 in a refugee camp in Jabalia, in the northern part of Gaza.
03:10 Aside from Jabalia, there is also a refugee camp in Nusayrat
03:16 where civilians are still fleeing from other places because of the chaos.
03:20 In the middle of that, a group of Hamas announced that they will liberate some parts of Banyaga
03:26 according to the previous declaration that they do not want to stay in Gaza.
03:31 Yesterday, US President Joe Biden and King Abdullah of Jordan
03:35 offered help to the civilians in Gaza.
03:38 They also gave importance to giving protection to life and safety
03:43 that they will not force the Palestinians to leave Gaza.
03:47 The White House said that there are 66 trucks loaded with aid
03:51 that passed through the Rafah Crossing in Gaza in the last 24 hours.
