MOSCOW, November 13. /TASS/. Medics have cleared 70 Russians for evacuation from the Gaza Strip, meaning they will be allowed to fly home, Russian health officials told reporters.

"Doctors from the Federal Center for Emergency Medicine have examined 70 Russian nationals who have been evacuated from Gaza, including a pregnant woman <…> and 27 children, including babies under 3 years old, with the smallest of them being just 3 months of age. All 70 evacuees are in satisfactory condition and have been cleared for the Cairo-Moscow flight," health officials said in a statement.

Daniil Martynov, adviser to the Russian emergencies minister, said earlier at the headquarters in Cairo that the Emergencies Ministry’s operations team would remain in Egypt until all Russian citizens seeking evacuation assistance are out of Gaza.
