Three people — two young Bulgarian citizens and an elderly Palestinian woman, a family member of one of the Bulgarians — have been successfully evacuated from the Gaza Strip, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs reported.
"The evacuation was carried out in close cooperation with our partners and was coordinated by four Bulgarian diplomatic missions. The operation lasted over 24 hours, beginning in the early hours of September 29. The evacuees passed through Jordan with the assistance of the Bulgarian Embassy in Amman and then continued through Istanbul with support from the Consulate General of Bulgaria", the statement said.
The actions are the result of preliminary communication between the relatives of the evacuees and the Bulgarian missions in Tel Aviv and Ramallah. All participants in the operation expressed their gratitude for the assistance provided, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs added.
