The health ministry of Hamas-run Gaza said the first Palestinians - injured civilians and militant fighters - would enter Egypt on Saturday via the Rafah crossing, which has been shut to human traffic since last May.
Kallas announced on Monday there was broad agreement among member states that the EU Border Assistance Mission (EUBAM) could play a “decisive role” in supporting the ceasefire agreement between Israel and the Palestinian group Hamas.
Egyptian security sources confirmed that members of the EU team had arrived at the facility.
It will be opened initially for 50 injured militants and 50 wounded civilians, along with the people escorting them, the officials said, adding that a further 100 people, most likely students, would be allowed through on humanitarian grounds.
A civilian EU mission to help monitor the Rafah crossing began work there in 2005 but was suspended in June 2007 after Hamas, a militant Islamist group, took over the Gaza Strip.
Italy has said it will send seven paramilitary Carabinieri officers to the Rafah mission in addition to two Italians already there, while Germany’s interior and foreign ministries are also discussing sending a contingent.
