"Today, a team of experts from the Federal Center for Emergency Medicine at the Russian Health Ministry and its federal health agencies examined 98 people who have left the Gaza Strip, including 39 children, of which four are under 3 years old, and two pregnant women <…>. The examination showed that all of them are in satisfactory condition as they have been cleared for the flight [to Moscow]," Kuznetsov told reporters, adding that medics will accompany the evacuees on board the plane.
