A convoy of 73 trucks carrying humanitarian aid supplies is entering the besieged Gaza Strip, and hundreds of more evacuees are expected to arrive in Egypt via the Rafah border crossing on Thursday, an Egyptian source told Xinhua on the condition of anonymity.

"The trucks will be inspected at the Israeli Nitzana crossing before they head to the Palestinian enclave," the source added, noting that 400 foreign passport holders, as well as 60 wounded Palestinians in ambulances, are expected to cross from Gaza into Egypt by the end of the day.
