Global Affairs Canada says another 32 Canadians were able to leave the Gaza Strip for Egypt on Thursday after the key Rafah border crossing reopened.
The federal agency says there were initially 40 Canadians on the list of people authorized to pass through Rafah.
The key crossing point between the Gaza Strip and Egypt remained closed earlier Thursday, as hundreds of people linked to Canada waited to find out if — and when — they could escape the besieged Palestinian territory.
On Tuesday, 75 Canadian citizens, permanent residents and members of their families were the first people linked to Canada to leave the territory since the start of the war between Israel and Hamas a month ago.
Global Affairs Canada says Canadian officials in Egypt remain ready to welcome those leaving the territory and help them get to Cairo.
Those coming from Gaza are allowed to stay in Egypt for up to three days, and the Canadian government provides them with accommodation and basic necessities during this time.
