Citizens of Ukraine, who were evacuated from the Gaza Strip, have already arrived in Moldova. Soon, they will be on Ukrainian territory, according to the Main Intelligence Directorate (GUR).
"155 individuals, evacuated from the Gaza Strip as part of the mission of the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine, have arrived at Chisinau airport on a flight from Egypt," the statement reads.
It is noted that 145 Ukrainian citizens, nine Moldovan citizens, and one Palestinian were rescued from the conflict zone.
Among the evacuees are many families with children, and one Ukrainian citizen with oncological illness. After arriving in the Moldovan capital, the woman was immediately transported by ambulance to one of the border crossing points with Ukraine, where a medical team met her and transported her to a hospital in Odesa.
