    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    Global Affairs Canada (GAC) says it is in contact with at least 516 Canadian citizens, permanent residents and family members who have been trapped in the besieged enclave for nearly a month.

    In its Friday update, GAC said it has provided regional partners a list of “close” to 450 eligible Canadian citizens, permanent residents and family members who want to leave Gaza.

    “We have been informed that more than 400 Canadian citizens, permanent residents and eligible family members will be able to leave Gaza through the Rafah border crossing in the coming days, and possibly as early as Sunday,” says the email.

    She also added that Egypt’s foreign minister has confirmed his country’s cooperation in efforts to evacuate Canadians stuck in Gaza.

    Trudeau told reporters in Washington the federal government is working with its officials and allies in the region to ensure that Canadians who are allowed to leave Gaza will be “properly supported.”

    “Our consular officials will be on the Egyptian side of the border in order to facilitate your transportation to Cairo by bus and assist with onward travel to Canada at your own expense,” says the email GAC sent to Canadians in Gaza.
