The Israeli government has given notice to nations to be prepared for the possible opening of the Egyptian border crossing from war-torn Gaza, where many foreign nationals—including 131 Filipinos–are hoping to exit, the Department of Foreign Affairs said Wednesday.
Nonetheless, De Vega said, Israel informed other countries to be prepared for the opening of the border as it could open “suddenly.”Some of the 17 Overseas Filipino Workers repatriated from south Israel, near the conflict zone with Gaza, arrive at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport Terminal 3 in Pasay City on Wednesday.
De Vega said Philippine embassy officials in Egypt are prepared to assist the dozens of Filipinos, who are now already waiting near the border. Before they arrived in Manila, Philippine Ambassador to the United Arab Emirates Alfonso Ferdinand Ver met the group, which included a one-month-old infant, as they transited through Abu Dhabi International Airport on their way home from Israel.
