The Ministry of Foreign Affairs asks Norwegian citizens to wait to travel to the border crossing out of consideration for their own safety. – We will send a message to our citizens as soon as we have updates, says Harbitz. No Norwegians so far The evacuation of civilians started on Wednesday, when 76 wounded people and 335 people with foreign passports were let into Egypt. Not even on Thursday did Norwegians cross the border. – Like other countries, we have received information that several foreign citizens will probably be allowed to cross the Rafah border crossing in the coming days, says Harbitz to news. She says that the ministry is notified by the Egyptian authorities when Norwegian citizens are allowed to cross the border into Egypt.
