President Volodymyr Zelensky said that there are about 260 Ukrainians in the Gaza Strip, and diplomats are working with partners to evacuate them. "Ukrainian diplomats, intelligence, and security forces continue to work to help our citizens stranded in the Middle East - in Israel and the Gaza Strip. The evacuation of Ukrainians from Israel continues. More than 200 people have already been taken to Romania - mostly women and children, and more are being prepared flights. Almost 260 of our people are known to be currently in the Gaza Strip. Exit from there is blocked for citizens of all countries, but we are working with partners to evacuate our citizens," Zelensky said in his traditional evening address. The President assured that Ukrainian diplomats are ready to help every citizen in need. Let us recall that Israel has resumed water supply to the Gaza Strip, which was stopped after the Hamas attack on Israel last Saturday. | |

| #3 Interesting that Western Outlets were rumoring that Wagner was involved in training Hamas, but is not the Russians Reporting that they have a butt load of civilians in Gaza that are in need of evacuation. |
