BBC World Service - BBC OS, First foreign nationals leave Gaza

The crossing from Gaza to Egypt has opened for the first time since Israel's siege began

The crossing from Gaza to Egypt has opened for the first time since Israel's siege began.

The Rafah crossing from Gaza to Egypt has opened for the first time since Israel's siege began more than three weeks ago. At least 20 Palestinian patients, and 110 dual nationals, have left Gaza so far. Our correspondent in Cairo in Egypt Amal Saeed gives us the latest from the Rafah crossing. We continue to voice up and play out voice messages from those who are still trapped in Gaza.

Pakistan has started to arrest Afghans as the country begins a nationwide crackdown on foreign nationals it says are in the country illegally. We hear the views of people inside Pakistan.

Our correspondent Emery Makumeno has the latest from the Democratic Republic of Congo after the UN has said that a record 6.9 million are now internally displaced there/

We hear a conversation between Palestinians who are mourning their family members killed in Israel's air strikes on Gaza.

Presenter: James Reynolds
