As for their evacuation, everything depends on the current military situation and whether they will be able to reach Egypt, Counsellor of the Kazakh Embassy in Egypt Sanzhar Ualikhanov notes.

A representative of the Red Crescent Society in Egypt said that the humanitarian cargo brought from Kazakhstan, will be sent to a special warehouse, after which it will be sent through the Rafah border crossing to the Palestinian side.

In recent years, we have lived in the Palestinian Authority in the Gaza Strip. My husband is still there. Taking this opportunity, I am asking to help him leave and reunite with the family. He is a doctor, and I worked as a nurse. We had five children. Our elder daughter was killed about two weeks ago. She was 19 and she was in her sixth month of pregnancy. She died along with her husband, his nephews and parents, says Oksana Helles, a national of Kazakhstan who lived in Gaza.

All those evacuated express their gratitude to President of Kazakhstan Kassym-Jomart Tokayev, the Kazakh Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and the Embassy of Kazakhstan in Egypt.
