Al-Arish – Ma’an – Egyptian authorities allowed 110 Palestinian patients and their companions enter Gaza on Wednesday night following treatment in Egyptian hospitals, security sources said.

Egypt also allowed the return of displaced Palestinians, who do not have residency in Egypt, into the Gaza Strip on Thursday morning, according to the country's security officials.

Wednesdays and Thursdays were designated for passage of patients and displaced Palestinians by Egyptian security in September. Sources also noted Rafah crossing will be open for travel in and out of the Strip for those with permits next week.
