France resumes Gaza evacuations
France has restarted evacuating sick and wounded Palestinians out of Gaza, with 20 people arriving last weekend, a news report says.

The move comes after France in August froze its programme to receive Palestinians from war-ravaged Gaza after a student accused of sharing anti-Jewish posts on social media was allowed into the country.

Twenty people arrived in France on Sunday, fewer than expected because of the operation’s complexity, unnamed “diplomatic sources” told AFP news agency. It’s unclear how many people from Gaza are expected going forward.

France has helped more than 500 people leave Gaza since Israel’s war began in October 2023, including wounded children, journalists, and students.
