Emergency Ministry Special Plane Lands in Moscow, Bringing 120 Evacuated Russians from Gaza

05 December 2023

A dedicated aircraft from the Russian Emergencies Ministry has transported an additional 120 Russian citizens and their family members, who were evacuated from Gaza, to their home country. This information comes from a TASS correspondent reporting from Domodedovo airport.

 

Roman Okhotenko, the director of the Russian Emergencies Ministry's information policy department, clarified that among the evacuees, there were 30 children.

 

"Those who have arrived are receiving essential medical and psychological support. An interdepartmental operational headquarters has coordinated efforts to transport them to their designated places of residence. Evacuees are being supplied with warm clothing and essential items. Temporary accommodation centers have been set up for those in need in the Chechen Republic, the Republic of Dagestan, Moscow, Kaluga, and Lipetsk regions," he stated.

 

The Russian Emergencies Ministry task force in Egypt continued its efforts to assist people crossing the Rafah checkpoint. On the latest day, 133 individuals and their families successfully passed through.

 

The Russian Federation's representation to the Palestinian National Authority (PNA) recently announced the resumption of evacuation measures for Russian citizens and their families from the Gaza Strip. This evacuation comes amid renewed hostilities after a week of relative calm.

 

Since the start of evacuations from the Palestinian-Israeli conflict zone, the Russian Emergencies Ministry's aircraft has completed nine flights. In total, 881 individuals have been safely transported to Russia on these special airplanes.
