Palestinian Embassy seeks temporary status for Gazans who entered Egypt during war
A Palestinian walks by the site of Israeli strikes on houses in Khan Younis in the southern Gaza Strip October 15, 2023.The Palestinian Embassy in Egypt is seeking temporary residency permits for tens of thousands of people who have arrived from Gaza during the war between Israel and Hamas, which it says would ease conditions for them until the conflict is over.
“We are talking about a category in an exceptional situation. We asked the state to give them temporary residencies that can be renewed until the crisis in Gaza is over,” Louh told Reuters in an interview. “We are speaking of 100 000 who are looking forward to the day they can come back to Gaza … maybe once a truce is reached or the war is ended,” said Louh, a Palestinian Authority official who is himself from Gaza. “But until this happens, people need to correct their legal status.”
