Twenty-eight of the premature babies who were evacuated from al-Shifa hospital yesterday have arrived in Egypt through the Rafah crossing.
Dr Mohamed Salama, who is the head of the neo-natal unit in Al Hilal Emirates hospital in Rafah - where the babies were evacuated to - told the BBC that they did not know where exactly the babies would be going when they arrived in Egypt.
"A committee from the Egyptian Health Ministry will receive them and then will decide," he told the BBC Arabic.

In total, 31 babies were moved from the hospital this weekend - it's not known if or when the other three will move to Egypt.
We’re speaking to teams on the ground to find out why only 28 of the babies are being moved.
Watch: Premature babies in Gaza hospital after evacuation
Twenty-eight premature babies evacuated from al-Shifa hospital yesterday are on their way to the Rafah crossing so they can receive medical treatment in Egypt, according to the Palestine Red Crescent Society, external.
While we have been bringing you the latest from the Indonesian hospital in northern Gaza, a nearby hospital, al-Shifa, is still the focus of Israeli army raids.
The Hamas-run health ministry in Gaza says there are still 260 wounded people inside al-Shifa, and that one person is dying there every day.
The BBC can’t independently verify the claims.
Hundreds of Palestinians who had taken refuge at the hospital were evacuated on Saturday.

There are about 700 people inside the hospital, including medical teams and wounded people, according to the health ministry of the Hamas-run Gaza.
The ministry says Israel is seeking to "put the Indonesian hospital completely out of service".
Ministry spokesman Ashraf al-Qudra says 12 people were killed by the alleged air strike. The Israeli military has not commented on the incident - but is continuing its operation in Gaza.
We've been focusing on 12 reported deaths at the Indonesian hospital in the northern Gaza Strip. But we're also getting reports of more than a dozen people killed near a hospital in southern Gaza.
According to Wafa, an official Palestinian news agency, 15 people were killed, including children and women, after homes were bombed near Abu Youssef Al-Najjar Hospital in Rafah.
They also said dozens more were injured.
The Israeli military has not commented on the incident - but says it continues to target "terrorist infrastructure" in the Gaza Strip.
Image source, EPAIn the last few moments, the UN Agency for Palestine Refugees has tweeted about bad weather and heavy rain across the Gaza Strip.
Posting on social media the agency wrote: "The situation in shelters is unliveable.
"People have no options. Humanity needs to prevail."
Hundreds of thousands of people have been displaced in the Gaza Strip since Israel began its air strikes, with thousands of them living in tents.
The mother of a 21-year-old taken by Hamas during the 7 October attack at Supernova festival has spoken to BBC Radio 5 Live this morning.
"It’s 44 days of nightmare," said Shelly Shem Tov.
She said she had been in touch with Omer when she saw the attack at the festival on TV.
"I called him, he was panicked. He said there are shootings," Shelly said.
Omer told his mum he had got in the car and was trying to escape, and had shared his live location with his family before his phone dropped out.
"Then we saw that Omer was going into Gaza. We didn’t want to believe it, my husband went to hospitals to try and find him. One of his friends called and said there was a video telegram where Omer was on the floor of a pickup truck. That was the last time we saw him.”
Image source, EPAHead of Unicef Catherine Russell has been speaking to the Today programme on Radio 4 this morning about her trip to Gaza last week.
"The scale and pace of the death and injury has been most shocking”, she says. "One death of a child is too many.”
Russell goes on to say: “We are going to have to make it [Gaza] liveable again” - adding that it is important not to lose sight of the children who were abducted from Israel by Hamas on 7 October.
"The abduction of children is against international humanitarian law and these children need to be released immediately," Russell says, “and I can't say we have had much progress but I am hopeful at some point these children will be released and be able to return to their families."
In its statement, the Hamas-run health ministry in Gaza accuses Israeli forces of putting thousands of displaced people, injured civilians and medical staff in "the circle of death" as a result of "the direct and repeated targeting of the Indonesian Hospital".
There has been no specific comment from the IDF on the alleged attack yet. But it says it continues to target "terrorists" and "terrorist infrastructure" in Gaza.

Reporting from Jerusalem
Israeli tanks have moved in on the Indonesian Hospital in northern Gaza where about a dozen people are reported to have been killed following Israeli strikes this morning.
A short time ago, the director of the hospital, Dr Marwan Al-Sultan told the BBC the Israeli army was about 20 metres from the building.
Earlier he said he had heard gunfire all around and that the department for post-operative care had been hit.
The latest statement from the Israeli military did not refer to action near the hospital.
It said that: “IDF troops continue to operate in the Gaza Strip, directing aircraft to strike terrorists, terrorist infrastructure, and locating weapons and military equipment.”
It said that three company commanders of Hamas had been killed.
The director of the Indonesian hospital in north Gaza has told the BBC that at least 10 people have been killed in an Israeli airstrike.
The Hamas-run health ministry in Gaza later said that 12 people were killed.
Ministry spokesman Ashraf al-Qudra told the AFP news agency as well as the deaths, dozens were wounded.
Toby Fricker from Unicef says that the conditions were deteriorating so much at al-Shifa hospital that the 31 premature babies urgently needed to be transferred.
“There were 39 premature babies, sadly some of them had already died”, he says.
The mission was “very dangerous and very difficult to operate,” according to Fricker, who spoke to BBC Breakfast a short while ago.
“It is a very small positive in what has been an horrific 48 hours,” Fricker added.
Fricker says that negotiations are continuing to transfer the babies to a hospital in Egypt, because “There is nowhere fully safe in Gaza and every hospital is under strain.”
Unicef is also trying to identify the parents of the babies or their extended family members Fricker says, “Because we don’t want these children to be completely separated from their families.”

Even as the brutal fighting continues between Israel and Hamas in Gaza, there are signs that weeks of indirect hostage negotiations, involving the US and Qatar, are finally making progress.
Israel’s ambassador to the US has said there’s hope that a significant number of hostages could be freed in the coming days in exchange for a brief ceasefire.
Meanwhile, the Israeli army - under pressure to justify its raid of al-Shifa hospital - has released two new videos. One, it says, shows a tunnel leading to a blast proof door of the kind used by Hamas for its command centres.
The other taken from security cameras is said to show two hostages, one wounded, being taken to the hospital on the 7 October. The BBC can’t independently verify the footage.
The army also says a medical report determined that a young Israeli woman soldier whose body was recovered last week had been injured in an air strike and then killed by Hamas in the hospital.
The UN's High Commissioner for Human Rights has issued another video saying he is "appalled by horrendous events of past 48hrs in Gaza".
Volker Turk appeared to be referencing Israel's strikes on the Jabalia refugee camp on Saturday, which also hit a school run by the UN, officials in the area say.
"Killings of so many in schools-turned-shelters, amid fleeing of hundreds from al-Shifa Hospital & ongoing displacement in southern Gaza, wholly inconsistent with protection of civilians required under international law," Mr Turk wrote on X, formerly known as Twitter., external
"How much more violence, bloodshed and misery will it take before people come to their senses?" he says in the accompanying video.
"How many more civilians will be killed? This must stop. Humanity must come first. A ceasfire on humanitarian and human rights grounds is desperately needed. Now."
Image source, Getty ImagesTo reiterate what we've reported this weekend - several groups say they are inching closer to a deal on the release of some of the Hamas hostages.
Qatar's PM said efforts to bring back the hostages were now within reach. "I'm now more confident that we are close enough to reach a deal," said Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani, adding that only "minor" practical details remained unresolved.
Meanwhile US national security official Jon Finer said negotiators were "closer that we have been perhaps at any point since these negotiations began weeks ago".
However last night, Israel PM's quashed reports of an imminent agreement. "As of now there is no deal," he said.

Japan's government has strongly condemned the hijacking of a Japanese-operated cargo ship in the Red Sea by Iran-backed Houthi rebels.
The Yemeni militia claimed the ship was Israeli, but a Japanese government spokesperson confirmed the vessel was a car carrier operated by Nippon Yusen.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu blamed Iran, which backs the Houthi militia, for the hijacking.
Mr Netanyahu said neither the vessel nor the crew were Israeli, and called it an "Iranian attack on an international ship".
The Houthis had earlier threatened to target any Israeli ship within their reach in response to Israel's retaliatory military action in the Gaza Strip following Hamas' 7 October attack.
