Palestine, State of
Israeli ground troops have advanced to the gates of Gaza City.
President Biden has discussed expediting humanitarian aid to Gaza with the King of Jordan.
The evacuations are a result of negotiations mediated by Qatar between Egypt, Israel, and Hamas.

The World Health Organization (WHO) has announced that Egypt will receive 81 injured and sick civilians from Gaza for treatment.

The Rafah border crossing between Gaza and Egypt has been opened for the first time in over three weeks, allowing for limited evacuations. This development comes as a result of negotiations mediated by Qatar between Egypt, Israel, and Hamas. The agreement permits foreign passport holders and some critically injured individuals to leave the besieged Gaza Strip. However, the timeline for the evacuation has not been specified.

The evacuations began as a senior Hamas official stated that hostages in Gaza were subject to the same risk of 'death and destruction' as Palestinians. The exact number of hostages is unclear, with different sources reporting varying figures. The State Department spokesperson did not disclose the number of Americans among those who left but mentioned that around 400 Americans are in touch with the State Department about their desire to leave.

In addition to the evacuations, the World Health Organization (WHO) has announced that Egypt will receive 81 injured and sick civilians from Gaza for treatment. This comes as the conflict has led to a severe humanitarian crisis in Gaza, with food, water, and fuel running low.

In response to the crisis, President Biden has discussed expediting humanitarian aid to Gaza with the King of Jordan. Furthermore, U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken is set to visit Israel and Jordan to reiterate U.S. support for Israel, but also to push to ensure humanitarian aid reaches Palestinians in Gaza.

Despite these developments, the situation remains tense as Israeli ground troops have advanced to the gates of Gaza City. The conflict continues to have global implications, with Delta Airlines extending its cancellation of flights between New York and Tel Aviv until November 21.
