CAIRO (Reuters) -&nbsp;Evacuations&nbsp;of injured&nbsp;Gazans and foreign passport holders through the Rafah crossing to Egypt have been&nbsp;suspended&nbsp;since Saturday, but&nbsp;Egyptian, U.S. and Qatari officials said there were efforts to resume them.
The&nbsp;evacuations&nbsp;were&nbsp;suspended&nbsp;after&nbsp;an Israeli strike on Friday on an&nbsp;ambulance&nbsp;in&nbsp;Gaza&nbsp;being used to transport injured people,&nbsp;Egyptian&nbsp;official&nbsp;sources&nbsp;said. The Israeli military said, without showing evidence, the vehicle was carrying Hamas militants.
The Rafah crossing to Egypt's Sinai peninsula is the only exit point from&nbsp;Gaza&nbsp;not controlled by Israel. Aid trucks were still able to travel into the territory, two&nbsp;Egyptian&nbsp;sources&nbsp;said.
"We believe it will (open) this&nbsp;afternoon," a senior U.S. State Department official said, speaking on condition of anonymity. "Don't hold me to it," the official added.
Evacuations&nbsp;began on Wednesday under an internationally brokered deal aimed at letting some foreign passport holders, their dependents and some wounded&nbsp;Gazans out of the enclave. Unlike on previous days, the&nbsp;Gazan border authority on Sunday did not publish a list of approved foreign passport holders and dependents.
Hundreds of people have been evacuated in coordination with their home countries, along with dozens of injured&nbsp;Gazans who are receiving medical assistance in hospitals in Sinai.
Waiting on the&nbsp;Gaza&nbsp;side of the Rafah crossing on Sunday, Majed al-Huwaihi, a Palestinian with German citizenship, said he was worried that he and his wife and three children would not be allowed to cross.
"The road is dangerous and we don't have fuel. The situation is difficult," he said.
An&nbsp;Egyptian&nbsp;official told Reuters that the&nbsp;Egyptian&nbsp;side of the border was open as usual for any evacuees, but that crossings were&nbsp;suspended&nbsp;because of bombardments in&nbsp;Gaza. Egypt was making "genuine efforts" to resume activity, the official said.
The U.S. diplomat said there had been a "a lot of work" to reopen the crossing over the past 24 hours and thought the problem would be resolved.
"Hamas is making additional demands and every time that happens, every time one side makes a demand, you have to go work out with every other party involved how to respond," the U.S. diplomat said.
Qatar, which has played a major role in facilitating humanitarian aid and hostage releases, said it was also pushing to resume crossings but no timeline was set.
"The bombing of hospitals and the bombing of&nbsp;ambulances, which are part of this agreement for&nbsp;ambulance&nbsp;convoys to move patients out of harm's way, certainly does not help," said Majed Al Ansari, spokesperson for Qatar's Ministry of Foreign Affairs in a briefing on Sunday.
"We urge all parties, but especially the occupation army to make sure that there is safe routes and that the agreement, as it was reached, is respected," he added.
The United Nations Secretary General and aid agencies working in&nbsp;Gaza&nbsp;have condemned Israel's air strike on an&nbsp;ambulance&nbsp;on Friday.
The Health Ministry, a hospital director and the Palestinian Red Crescent Society in the Hamas-controlled enclave have said the Israeli strike targeted a convoy of&nbsp;ambulances evacuating wounded people from the besieged northern&nbsp;Gaza&nbsp;area.
