A large-scale evacuation operation carried out by the Ministry of Emergency Situations brought 120 Russian citizens out of Gaza and into Moscow, according to a report from TASS (Source: TASS).
The group touched down at Domodedovo Airport in the capital. Medical teams and psychologists from the Russian emergency services were on hand to support the evacuees throughout the journey and upon arrival (Source: TASS).
