Ukrainians were unable to leave during the evacuation of foreigners from the Gaza Strip to Egypt. Currently, there is a live queue of people who want to leave the war zone, and it includes more than 300 Ukrainian citizens. This was stated by Israeli Ambassador to Ukraine Mykhailo Brodsky during a telethon.
"As far as I know, no Ukrainians have managed to leave yet. But there is a live queue of people who want to leave. This is quite a lot of people. As for Ukrainians, there are more than 300 of them," Brodsky said.
Most of them, he said, are women and children who lived in Gaza and would like to leave.
"As for Israel, we not only do not prevent, but encourage foreign citizens to leave the Gaza Strip. Unfortunately, Hamas prevents civilians from leaving Gaza because it uses them as human shields. We know this and see it all the time," the ambassador added.
