FORTY Filipinos have successfully crossed the Rafah Border in Egypt from war-torn Gaza City, President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. said Wednesday, November 8, 2023.Marcos said the Filipinos who came from six families will now be heading to Cairo assisted by Philippine Embassy officials for their flight back to the Philippines.“Nagpapasalamat din tayo sa mga pamahalaan ng Israel at Egypt sa kanilang pagbibigay prayoridad sa ating mga kababayan upang makalabas ng kanilang teritoryo.
“Umaasa akong ang natitirang kababayan na nagnanais ding makauwi ay makakatawid din nang maayos, kasama ang kanilang mga asawa at mahal sa buhay. Magbibigay uli ang aking tanggapan ng kaukulang balita tungkol sa mga pangyayaring ito. Maraming salamat,” he added.The Philippine Government earlier raised its crisis warning in Gaza to Alert Level 4, making the evacuation of Filipinos there mandatory amid the ongoing Hamas-Israel conflict.
