Diplomats are preparing the first evacuation flight for Ukrainian citizens from Israel to Romania for Saturday, October 14, Spokesman for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine Oleh Nikolenko said.

"More than 1,000 Ukrainian citizens have asked for help in leaving Israel due to cancelled flights. Diplomats are preparing the first evacuation flight to Romania for Saturday, October 14. We are working on organizing additional evacuation flights," Nikolenko said on Facebook.

The Foreign Ministry said the details will be sent to citizens who provide their data to the Ukrainian embassy in Tel Aviv.

In addition, about 200 Ukrainians have expressed their desire to evacuate from the Gaza Strip, but due to insecurity, leaving is not yet possible.

"The Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Ukrainian embassies in Israel, Egypt, Jordan, as well as other involved Ukrainian departments are making active efforts to extract our people as soon as possible," Nikolenko said.
