Doctors Without Borders is still offering care in the territory and another international team was waiting to enter the territory to replace those who left "as soon as the situation allows".
More than 20,000 wounded people are still trapped in the Gaza Strip, according to Doctors Without Borders (MSF), despite initial evacuations of foreign passport holders and badly injured Palestinians across the border to Egypt. MSF noted the evacuations of "a number of severely injured" people in a statement on Wednesday, saying that its 22 international staff members in Gaza had also been among those who left the territory via the Rafah border crossing.
"However, there are still over 20,000 injured people in Gaza with limited access to healthcare due to the siege," it said.
MSF's Palestinian staff were still offering care in the territory, it added, and another international team was waiting to enter the territory to replace those who left "as soon as the situation allows".
