More Australians are expected to return home soon from Israel after emotional reunions at Sydney airport while the government tries to secure safe passage for others unable to leave the Gaza Strip. A Qatar Airways flight from Dubai carrying more than 200 people, including Australians and dual-citizens, landed in Sydney on Tuesday evening. Some of them were collected from Israel on government flights on Monday while others departed Tel Aviv on the weekend.
Foreign Minister Penny Wong said the humanitarian situation in the region was “dire,” with efforts underway for those stranded to be able to cross the border out of Gaza. “The situation for Australians in Gaza and their families at home is deeply distressing,” she told parliament on Tuesday. “We are doing all we can to support the work of the United States, of Egypt and others to make the Rafah border crossing open for humanitarian purposes, including the passage of civilians.
