CAIRO, Feb. 5 (Xinhua) -- More than 2,200 Palestinians wounded in the Gaza Strip have crossed into Egypt through the Rafah border since Nov. 1, 2023, the Egyptian presidency said Monday.
The statement said 47 hospitals in eight Egyptian provinces treated the wounded and performed more than 1,200 surgeries.
During a meeting to review the progress of some national medical projects with the prime minister and the health and population minister, Egyptian President Abdel-Fattah al-Sisi said that Egypt would continue to support Gazans and ease the humanitarian consequences they faced.
The state-run Middle East News Agency said on Monday that 199 people, including 40 injured Palestinians, entered Egypt from Gaza through the Rafah crossing earlier in the day.
Israel has been waging a massive military campaign against Hamas in the Gaza Strip since Oct. 7, 2023, after the group's surprise attack on southern Israel that killed about 1,200 Israelis. The Israeli blockade and bombardment of Gaza have killed more than 27,000 Palestinians, the Gaza-based Health Ministry said. ■
