Moldovans stuck in the Gaza Strip because of the war could be brought to the country in collaboration with Romania and Ukraine. An evacuation plan is being discussed by Deputy Prime Minister Nicu Popescu and his counterparts from Romania and Ukraine, Luminița Odobescu and Dmytro Kuleba. According to the Foreign Minister from Chisinau, the authorities are cooperating with Romania and Ukraine to ensure the fastest possible evacuation of our citizens through the Rafah crossing point, located on the border with Egypt.
We remind you that about 13,000 Moldovan citizens are officially registered in Israel, between 100 and 120 are in the Gaza Strip. Previously, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs announced that the Moldovans stuck in the Gaza Strip will be evacuated to Egypt, through the Rafah crossing point, in the south of the enclave.
From October 7 until now, 1204 Moldovan citizens have returned home from Israel by regular air flights. "We are in constant negotiations and have a dialogue with foreign partners for the evacuation of Moldovan citizens in the Gaza Strip, from where not a single foreign citizen has been able to be evacuated," said deputy Radu Marian, on Thursday, in the plenary of the Parliament.
On Monday, BBC wrote that a crowd of people wanting to leave the Gaza Strip gathered at the Rafah border crossing with Egypt. The Chisinau authorities said, at the end of last week, that they were holding talks with Egypt to facilitate the evacuation of Moldovans who were stuck in the Gaza Strip.
