Subscribe
Following the outbreak of hostilities in the Gaza Strip, foreign and dual nationals were permitted to evacuate through the Rafah Crossing, the only route in and out of Gaza for the civilian population and the main channel for humanitarian aid into the enclave.
On Monday, a group of 70 Russian evacuees from the Gaza Strip left Cairo, accompanied by doctors and psychologists, and were flown back to Moscow on a plane belonging to the Russian Emergencies Ministry.
To receive the evacuees, the Russian Emergency Situations Ministry set up an operational headquarters at Domodedovo airport. The plan is to continue evacuating groups of Russians every day for the next week.
