At this time they are in Cairo, from where they will fly to Bucharest along with Romanian citizens on a special flight organised by the Romanian Foreign Ministry, after which they will arrive in Moldova by bus.

Quote: "I am deeply grateful to Presidents Klaus Iohannis and Volodymyr Zelenskyy for Romania’s and Ukraine’s support in our nearly month-long mission to evacuate Moldovan citizens from the Gaza Strip," the president of Moldova wrote.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine in a comment to European Pravda noted that they cannot yet disclose details, since the process of evacuating citizens is still ongoing.

The United States has acknowledged that as a result of hostilities between Hamas militants and Israel, "thousands" of people were killed and injured in the Gaza Strip in October.
