Turkish specialists await Israeli greenlight to enter Gaza: AFP

Dozens of Turkish specialists dispatched by Ankara to help find bodies in Gaza are currently at the border in Egypt, awaiting a green light from the Israeli government, a Turkish official told AFP on Friday.

"A team of 81 AFAD members is currently waiting at the border on the Egyptian side," the official said, referring to the government agency for search and rescue operations. "It remains unclear when Israel will allow the Turkish team to enter Gaza."
