Cairo, Egypt:

The first ambulances carrying wounded Palestinians from war-torn Gaza entered Egypt via the Rafah crossing  today, an Egyptian official said, speaking on condition of anonymity.

Live footage shown on television stations close to Egyptian intelligence had shown the ambulances entering the Egyptian side of the Rafah terminal to bring back what officials said would be around 90 of the most seriously sick and wounded Palestinians for treatment in Egyptian hospitals.
