Prime Minister Anthony Albanese says 19 Australians have reigstered themselves as trying to flee Gaza. 'There is a family, for example, from Adelaide, of four, and we are having discussions with the Egyptian government about the potential to get them out into Egypt through that southern border,' he tells ABC News Breakfast.
'It's closed, of course, at the moment, formally, but we are having discussions to try to ensure that Australians can be gotten to safety. 'We want all Australians to be safe in the region and be able to leave, whether they're in Israel or Gaza.' The PM says 1,600 Australians are registered as being in the region of Israel, Gaza or the West Bank, but not all of them are necessarily trying to get out.
