Transcript
00:00 Our countrymen in Gaza are still waiting to know when they will be allowed to cross the Rafah crossing to Egypt.
00:08 Earlier, there were people who were forced to cross the crossing after almost a month of being trapped in the war between Israel and Hamas.
00:16 From Egypt, Saksilat, Rafi Tima.
00:24 I was in Egypt yesterday where we were monitoring the crossing of the Rafah border crossing
00:31 by the foreigners who were allowed to leave Gaza and enter Egypt.
00:35 More than an hour ago, our two fellow countrymen were still at the border crossing
00:40 who were allowed to leave Gaza because they were among the volunteers of the Midsonsons Frontier or Doctors Without Borders.
00:48 They are among the 500 who are being processed to enter Egypt.
00:54 The Palestinians who are in a critical condition have already entered Egypt to continue their treatment.
01:00 The long-awaited moment of many foreigners trapped in Gaza has arrived at the opening of the Rafah crossing to Egypt.
01:10 Hundreds of people and dual citizens have been allowed to enter.
01:15 Under the agreement between Egypt, Israel and Hamas, which was signed by Qatar.
01:20 81 wounded and 500 foreign passport holders are on the initial list of those who will be allowed to cross the border in the next few days, according to Reuters.
01:31 According to the DFA and Gaza Borders and Crossing Authority,
01:34 two Filipino doctors, including Doctors Without Borders, were allowed to cross the border.
01:38 They are Darwin de la Cruz and Rejidor Esguerra.
01:41 Diana is a Filipino. She is not a real name. We have been talking to her for a few weeks in Gaza.
01:46 She is one of the people who went to the Rafah crossing.
01:48 But Diana is not on the list of those who are allowed to leave now.
01:52 According to DFA Undersecretary Eduardo de Vega, all accounted for are 136 Filipinos in the Gaza Strip.
01:59 Six of them returned to Gaza City. They have already left and are on their way to the Rafah crossing.
02:04 De Vega also said that the DFA is already coordinating with Israel to prioritize the Filipinos who can cross.
02:10 For now, the members of the International Organization are prioritizing.
02:14 They are just waiting to see if they can cross.
02:19 Because first of all, the Filipinos need urgent medical assistance and the members of the International Organization.
02:27 That's why there are two Filipinos with them.
02:30 In the middle of this, the Israeli airstrikes in Gaza continued today, accompanied by the entry of their troops.
02:37 Due to the number of injuries and the number of schools, hospitals are also being built.
02:41 One of the airstrikes yesterday hit the largest refugee camp in Gaza, the Jabalia Refugee Camp.
02:47 According to Palestinian health officials, the number of deaths and more than 100 injuries will not decrease to 50.
02:53 In addition, more than 8,000 were killed in the war since October 7.
02:57 According to the Armed Wing of Hamas, seven civilian hostages were killed in Jabalia, including three with foreign passports.
03:03 There is no comment about Israel here.
03:07 According to the Israel Defense Forces, several Hamas combatants were killed in the underground tunnel complex.
03:13 A Hamas commander was also killed, who was also part of the plan of attacking Israel on October 7.
03:19 This was denied by Hamas.
03:21 According to Israel, 11 soldiers were also killed in the battle yesterday.
03:26 The most deaths were in their ranks since the war began.
03:30 The mission of the troops was to finish the Hamas, which again launched rockets in Israel today.
03:35 Hamas also announced that they will send foreign ships the next days because they are not allowed to stay in Gaza.
03:44 But Israel is still opposed to Hamas' human shielding of civilians.
03:48 In the midst of this, tensions continue between Israel and the Hezbollah group in Lebanon.
03:53 There are at least 165 Filipinos awaiting repatriation.
03:59 Israel's military infrastructure in the neighboring country of Syria was bombed as part of the annihilation strikes from Syria.
04:06 And yesterday, the Houthi group in Yemen announced that they are deploying missiles against Israel as support to the Palestinians.
04:16 The group made three missile and drone attacks since the war between Israel and Hamas began.
04:21 Israel also deployed missile boats in the Red Sea near Yemen.

04:30 The Philippine Embassy in Cairo is still waiting for the authorities to issue a visa to the border.
04:39 Until there is no visa, it means that they do not have a name on the list of people who can enter Egypt.
04:46 Aside from Dayana who tried earlier, there are Filipinos who have already approached the border crossing to wait for the official visa.
04:53 And that is the latest from the Giza-Greater Cairo area.
04:56 For GMA Integrated News, I am Rafi Pima, your witness.
