A further 24 Irish citizens and dependents have exited Gaza, the Irish Department of Foreign Affairs has said.
It means the department has assisted a total of 50 people to leave Gaza via the Rafah border crossing into Egypt.
Among them were four-year-old Ali and one-year-old Sara, whose Belfast-born father had appealed for their exit.
Israel began striking Gaza after Hamas’s 7 October attacks, in which 1,200 people were killed and more than 200 hostages were taken.
The Hamas-run health ministry in Gaza says more than 12,000 people have been killed in the territory since 7 October – of whom more than 4,500 were children.
