3 November 2023 at 08:09 Swedish Foreign Ministry: Swedes have died in Gaza Dagens Nyheter reports. The Swedish Ministry of Foreign Affairs has received information from local authorities that Swedes have died on the Gaza Strip, writes Dagens Nyheter. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has not given any information on how many there are or other details about the dead. – This is not new information that has happened overnight, but information we have had since October, says press spokeswoman Nina Kefi to news agency TT. A few days after Hamas attacked Israel, the Swedish-Arab news source Alkompis reported that a four-year-old Swedish girl, together with her step-sister and mother, had been killed. It has not been confirmed. About 400 people with Swedish citizenship are in Gaza, according to Swedish authorities. There are a total of 7,500 people with foreign citizenship who reside in the area. Since the Rafah crossing to Egypt opened on Tuesday, just over a thousand of these have been allowed to cross the border. The Swedish Ministry of Foreign Affairs will provide more information during the day.
