The first British citizens have left Gaza as the border with Egypt was partially opened to allow trapped foreign nationals to leave. Around 320 foreign passport holders out of the 9,000 trapped in Gaza have crossed into Egypt. However, many more were turned away as their names were not included on the approved list. The UK Government has faced criticism for failing to provide clear instructions to stranded Britons and their families. The evacuation of British nationals is expected to take place in stages over several days.
