(Central News Agency reporter Tang Yaling, special report from Sao Paulo on the 3rd) After Israel, Egypt and Hamas reached an agreement, the Brazilian Embassy in Palestine today announced the list of the third batch of foreigners allowed to leave the Gaza Strip. Brazilian citizens were once again excluded from the new list. .
According to Alessandro Candeas, the Brazilian ambassador to Palestine, the third list includes citizens of Germany, the United States, Italy, Indonesia, Mexico and the United Kingdom, a total of 571 people, including 367 Americans and 127 Britons. .
Paulino de Carvalho Neto, Brazil’s ambassador to Egypt, said it is difficult to predict when the 34 Brazilians still in Gaza will be allowed to cross the border into Egypt because there are currently insufficient conditions to evacuate them from the conflict zone.
Brazilians in the Gaza Strip say that the constant artillery fire from the Israel-Kazakhstan conflict makes them fearful every day. It has become increasingly difficult to communicate with their loved ones. The region also faces shortages of water, food and medicine.
After Israel, Egypt and Hamas reached an agreement, the Gaza authorities released two batches of lists of foreigners allowed to leave the Gaza Strip through the Rafah checkpoint in the past two days.
These countries include Australia, Austria, Bulgaria, Finland, Indonesia, Jordan, Japan, Czech Republic, Azerbaijan, Bahrain, Belgium, South Korea, Croatia, United States, Greece, Netherlands, Hungary, Italy, Macedonia, Mexico , Switzerland, Sri Lanka and Chad, as well as Red Cross and NGO staff.
In order to try to get the 34 Brazilians in the Gaza Strip to evacuate the conflict zone as soon as possible, Brazilian Foreign Minister Mauro Vieira had a phone call with Egyptian Foreign Minister Sameh Shoukry yesterday. Shoukry promised to help arrange for Brazilian citizens Evacuation matters.
Brazilian diplomats in Jerusalem pointed out that Israel did not interfere in the preparation of the list and did not discriminate against Brazilian citizens.
Candias, the Brazilian ambassador to Palestine, believes that the list of foreigners allowed to leave Gaza through the Rafah checkpoint lacks “clear criteria”.
Nieto, Brazil’s ambassador to Egypt, said everything depends on approval from the Israeli authorities. According to the agreement reached between Egypt and Israel in 2007, the Rafah checkpoint is controlled by Egypt, but entering and exiting Gaza through this checkpoint must first obtain Israeli approval.
