There are currently no Irish citizens on the list to leave Gaza by the Rafah Crossing, the Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) has confirmed.

The border crossing first opened on November 1, allowing the first foreign and dual-nationals to leave the Gaza Strip for the first time since the Hamas attack on Israel on October 7.
