Ukraine has already taken more than 200 people out of the Gaza Strip, and the following groups are being prepared for evacuation, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said.

“Today, I will highlight the work of our entire team and those who helped to rescue Ukrainian citizens from the Gaza Strip. This is a very, very complex, sensitive, multi-level operation. More than 200 people have been rescued. We are preparing the next groups for evacuation,” he said in his evening video address.

The Head of State thanked the Egyptian and Israeli authorities, Ukrainian diplomats, Sky Up airline, Rabbi Jonathan Markovitch and the officers of the GUR for their assistance.

As he noted, “Ukraine's success in such operations once again demonstrates to the world how much our country values its citizens, wherever they are, and how effective our state institutions are.”
