In Egypt, the Verkhovna Rada Commissioner for Human Rights should help set up a mechanism for the evacuation of Ukrainian citizens from the Gaza Strip. Now Ukrainians are blocked there, and the situation in this territory is critical – there are no communications and power supplies. 243 people, namely women and children, need urgent evacuation. Lubinets wrote about this on Facebook.
Arrived in Cairo (Egypt) to help set up a mechanism for the evacuation of our citizens from the Gaza Strip, the message says.
According to Lubinets, the Rafah border crossing between Egypt and the Gaza Strip is now blocked. Work continues with the National Human Rights Commission of Egypt to help Ukrainians return home as quickly as possible.
Subsequently, it became known that the Israeli Foreign Ministry had revoked permission for citizens to leave the Gaza Strip.
Lubinets said on the telethon that two hours before the evacuation of Ukrainians and foreigners from the Gaza Strip, for unknown reasons, the Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs reported that they did not guarantee security and were revoking this permit.
Let us remind you that the Ambassador of Ukraine to Israel Yevgeny Korniychuk said today that there are no Ukrainians among the captured foreigners held by Hamas militants. Also, in the coming days, at least 260 citizens are to be evacuated from Israel to Romania, at what expense will the embassy pay for tickets.
