According to TASS, these planes arrived in Egypt with humanitarian cargo for the population of Gaza. As a local source of RIA Novosti clarified, a third aircraft will soon arrive in Cairo. Earlier today, the Ministry of Emergency Situations of the Russian Federation announced about the dispatch of another batch of humanitarian aid from Kazan to Gaza by Il-76 aircraft. The plane will arrive in Cairo, where humanitarian aid will be transferred to representatives of the Egyptian Red Crescent Society, who will redirect it to the population of the Gaza Strip.
Earlier today it became known that the list for evacuation from the Gaza Strip through the Rafah checkpoint on the border with Egypt included 85 Russian citizens. In early November, the Russian Foreign Ministry announced that it had provided the authorities of the countries involved with information about Russian citizens who had applied for evacuation from the Gaza Strip. Later, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said in a telephone conversation with Palestinian Minister of Civil Affairs Hussein al-Sheikh about the need to immediately evacuate Russians from the Gaza Strip, as well as the need to increase the volume of humanitarian aid entering the Gaza Strip.
On October 7, Israel began bombing the Gaza Strip. This happened after the Palestinian group Hamas attacked the southern regions of the country. During the Israeli attack, about 1,400 people were killed, and more than 200 were taken hostage by militants. The Palestinian Ministry of Health said more than 10,800 people were killed as a result of Israeli airstrikes in the Gaza Strip.
