The Dutch immigration service announced on Saturday that it will speed up the procedures for emigrating Palestinians with relatives in the Netherlands on the basis of family reunification, in order to help them leave the Strip as easily as possible.
In total, 10 emergency procedures were introduced involving several dozen people - mainly spouses and young children of Palestinians already living in the Netherlands.
The Dutch immigration authority clarified its decision and said that receiving a residency permit would not necessarily mean that people would be able to leave Gaza anyway due to the war.
