Ukraine, along with its own citizens, successfully evacuated nine Moldovan citizens and one Palestinian from the Gaza Strip, the Defense Intelligence of Ukraine (HUR) posted on Telegram.
"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.
Families with children were among the evacuees, and one Ukrainian citizen with oncological illness, thekyivpost.com informed. After arriving in the Moldovan capital, the woman was immediately transported to one of the border crossing points with Ukraine, where a medical team met her and took her to a hospital in Odesa.
On November 7, the first group of Ukrainians, consisting of 43 individuals, was evacuated from the Gaza Strip, according to media outlets. On the night of November 11, the second group of Ukrainians left the Gaza Strip.
The war between Israel and Hamas broke out on October 7, when the Palestinian Islamist group launched attacks from the Gaza Strip, killing 1,400 people and kidnapping more than 200 as hostages, the British broadcaster BBC reported.
