Special flights bring Russian, CIS citizens from Gaza Strip to Moscow

Over 100 citizens of Russia, Kazakhstan, and Ukraine have been brought by two special flights of the Emergencies Ministry from Cairo, the agency’s press service told TASS.

Two Emergencies Ministry’s planes, an Il-76 and an An-148, landed at Domodedovo airport. On Thursday night, they flew out to Cairo, where 112 people were waiting who voluntarily left the Gaza Strip due to the Israeli-Palestinian armed conflict.

This is the second evacuation after the Russian president signed the May 20 decree on the possible evacuation from the Gaza Strip of those Russian and CIS citizens who were willing to do so. Into the night of May 27, 64 Russians were evacuated from the coastal enclave by a special Emergencies Ministry’s flight that carried them from Cairo to Moscow.

The Emergencies Ministry’s press service added that the flight was performed in accordance with the current Russian legislation. Passengers were accompanied by the agency’s psychologists, medics, and the emergency response team. The psychologists provided information and psychological support. No medical aid was needed.
