Kazakhstani families evacuated from Gaza provided with housing and medical assistance

Kazakhstani nationals and their family members evacuated from the Gaza Strip are provided with housing and medical aid, First Deputy Foreign Minister of Kazakhstan Kairat Omarov said during a press briefing in the Majilis, Kazinform News Agency correspondent reports. 

Omarov also spoke of the status the evacuees can receive in Kazakhstan.

These issues are to be addressed in working order. To receive the status of refugee, they need to submit an application to an appropriate state body for their status to be defined. As of today, they have been evacuated from the zone, that is, those who have relatives here stay with them, and those who have no relatives are provided with housing. They’ve also been provided with medical aid, said the Kazakh First Deputy Foreign Minister.

Omarov went on to add that those with no Kazakhstani passport apply for the status to the Labor Ministry.
