Foreigner passport holders and injured Palestinian leave Gaza through Rafah crossing

Hundreds of foreigner passport holders and almost eighty injured Palestinians leave Gaza through Rafah crossing.

Hundreds of foreigners passport holders - including US nationals - and almost eighty injured Palestinians were allowed to leave Gaza today through the Rafah crossing. It is the first time people have been allowed to leave Gaza since the start of the Israel - Hamas war last month. We hear from families at the crossing with Egypt.

Also in the programme: Pakistan has started to arrest Afghans as part of a nationwide crackdown on foreign nationals in the country illegally; and we hear about Indians being asked to work 70 hours a week.
