The Foreign Office confirmed that British nationals used the Rafah border crossing on November 1st but did not say how many. “We will continue working with partners to ensure the crossing is opened again allowing vital aid into Gaza and more British nationals to leave safely,” a statement read. “The crossing will be open for controlled and time-limited periods to allow specific groups of foreign nationals and the seriously wounded to leave”. Hundreds of desperate foreign nationals managed to pour into Egypt across the southern checkpoint. Rishi Sunak previously said around 200 British citizens trapped in Gaza had contacted the Foreign Office in an urgent plea for help.
