Since the new outbreak of Israel-Hamas conflict in October, Russia stepped up with humanitarian aid while strongly condemning violence and urging for a two-state solution.
"So far, 1,125 people have left and arrived through the Rafah checkpoint on special flights of the Russian Ministry of Emergency Situations, these are Russian citizens (644 people) and 473 Palestinians — family members of Russian citizens. We also managed to evacuate citizens of Kyrgyzstan, Ukraine, Sweden, and Morocco," Gorlach told reporters.
