‘We saw death’: Egyptian nationals trying to leave Gaza stuck at Rafah

Al Jazeera  

Hundreds of foreign nationals managed to exit Gaza through the Rafah crossing, but some Palestinian Egyptians remain stranded as Israel’s war rages. “Luck is not on my side.” ‘We have the right to leave’ An estimated 50,000 dual nationals living in the Gaza Strip hold both Palestinian and Egyptian citizenship, according to Alaa al-Din Obeid, a member of the Egyptian community cultural centre in Gaza. “There are 8,000 Egyptian women married to Palestinians, and these mothers can pass on their citizenship directly to their children but not to their husbands,” Obeid said, speaking from Rafah. “This is why it’s hard to know exactly how many Egyptian Palestinian dual nationals managed to leave through Rafah,” he said, saying that the number is estimated at 300. “My children would not stop trembling in my arms when I’d hold them at night.” Dahman and his family made their way to the Rafah crossing every day for a week, waiting for long hours before returning to Khan Younis, defeated.
