Rafah crossing only way out for Filipinos

(UPDATE) HOPES to repatriate 137 Filipinos in the Gaza Strip before a massive Israeli assault hinge on the opening of a border crossing to Egypt, the Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) said Monday.

The DFA said in a statement it is 'hopeful for a solution to be reached soonest in order for the Rafah crossing to start receiving foreign nationals so that our kababayans (countrymen) in Gaza will be allowed to cross into Egypt.'
