Headline First Exchange of Wounded Prisoners of War in the Middle East 
Caption Description An Egyptian-Israeli agreement covering a number of major problems was signed on 11 November at 1310 hours (GMT) at kilometre marker 101 on the Cairo-Suez Road. It provided for unhindered non-military supplies for the city of Suez and for Egyptian units on the east bank of the Canal, the exchange of war prisoners and the evacuation of wounded civilians from Suez, and the replacement of Israeli by United Nations checkpoints on the Cairo-Suez Road.
The International Red Cross arranged for the first exchange of wounded prisoners-of-war. At 0645 hours (GMT), on 15 November, 26 wounded Israeli prisoners left by a Red Cross airplane (Balair) for Tel Aviv. At 0820 hours (GMT), 44 wounded Egyptian prisoners arrived by a Red Cross airplane in Cairo. Photograph shows Israeli wounded prisoners on stretchers being put on board the aircraft supplied by the Swiss Government. The whole prisoner-of-war exchange was expected to take six to eight days.
