Julie Sunday of Global Affairs said there may be an opportunity to leave between noon and 5 p.m. local time Saturday, though cautioned circumstances can change quickly
Canadians stuck in Gaza may be able to leave through the Rafah border crossing with Egypt on Saturday, federal officials said at a press briefing on Friday.
Humanitarian organizations have warned the evacuation will cause chaos and be calamitous for the civilians caught in the middle of the war. Communications with Canadians stuck in Gaza is becoming more difficult, Ms. Sunday said. Electricity is cut off, which is affecting telecommunications and there have been reports of internet interruptions. The logistics will be even more complicated because there may be a very narrow window to notify Canadians about the border crossing opening, she said.
