The Russian Ministry of Emergency Situations plans to deliver all Russians to the country from the Gaza Strip within a week, said Deputy Head of the Russian Ministry of Emergency Situations Alexey Serko.
“I also hope that a group of people will arrive every day. <...> I hope that within a week, if possible, earlier, we will take all the people to the Russian Federation,” he said (quote according to TASS).
Now there are two more planes in Egyptian Cairo; the second group of Russian citizens evacuated from Gaza is planned to be delivered to Moscow on November 14.
Previously to Moscow Domodedovo airport arrived a plane of the Ministry of Emergency Situations with the first group of evacuees of 70 people. The Russian Ministry of Health reported that the condition of the evacuated Russians is assessed as satisfactory. Among them are a woman in late pregnancy and 27 children, the youngest of whom is three months old.
Fighting between Israel and the Palestinian group Hamas in the Gaza Strip continues. The death toll from Israeli strikes on the enclave has exceeded 11,000. The bombing began on October 7 after an attack by Hamas militants on southern Israel. About 1,400 people were killed in the attack, and more than 200 were taken hostage by the militants.
Israeli Defense Forces spokesman Avichai Edri earlier said that the IDF stopped fighting in the city of Rafah in the southern Gaza Strip for four hours for humanitarian purposes. Currently, residents of the enclave are being evacuated through a checkpoint located in the city.
