Article doesn’t specify. Wasn’t this about Hamas wanting their injured members to be included in the crossing?
Why does the BBC keep failing to say which side is closed…. It’s a very important detail
The article says closed from the Palestinian side. Does that mean Hamas closed it?
> Hundreds of people with foreign passports went to the border, but the gate did not open.
The fuck is this phrasing? Did the gate have a stroke? Rusted shut? What the hell is this shitty reporting. Who REFUSED to open the gate?
BBC should not be allowed to report regarding this conflict anymore.
BBC , aren’t you supposed to represent the English people, can you use a more coherent language???
A gate felt icky and sticky and didn’t want to open.
All gates matter.
I listen to the BBC a bit. They use the world militant and not terrorist….
>Sources from the crossing authorities on the Palestinian side told the BBC that movement of people with foreign passports is not being allowed until there is agreement on the safety of transferring injured patients.
Who’s holding back? Egypt, Palestine or Israel? Why are patients not allowed through? There’s a large chunk of context missing from this article.
> Sources from the crossing authorities on the Palestinian side told the BBC that movement of people with foreign passports is not being allowed until there is agreement on the safety of transferring injured patients.
Ah, Hamas again blackmails civilians until they let injured terrorists go out first. How unexpected /s
> Sources from the crossing authorities on the Palestinian side told the BBC that movement of people with foreign passports is not being allowed until there is agreement on the safety of transferring injured patients.”
This sounds to me like Hamas kept the gate closed. Although maybe someone familiar could chime in as to who these “authorities on the Palestinian side” are?
What also seems puzzling to me is *why* the “authorities” on the Palestinian side would want the gate closed. I would have thought that for safety/humanitarian reasons they’d just want to get everyone out who could get out.
The cynical side of me wonders if they want to keep people in as human shields; the only other thing I could fathom is that they literally don’t know who would, or could, take custody of injured or immobile people after they transit the border?
Hamas is for all intents and purposes now holding the foreign nationals hostage inside Gaza until the wounded Hamas fighters are allowed to be evacuated to Egypt.
Hamas is not holding them officially as hostages however not allowing them to leave by making demands, effectively put the foreign nationals in a hostage like situation.
International law doesn’t prevent any or all of these countries from making their own massive and forceful rescue operations to ensure a safe exit of their citizens.
Wow! BBC admitted that Hamas started the war? No ” We have not been able to verify” and no “There are two narratives”?
Of course, unlike the deranged conspiracies about Israel not allowing irish citizens to leave that got like 50k likes on twitter, they same people will just ignore this.
