Nineteen Australians have arrived on home soil after weeks trapped in war-torn Gaza.
A family of four landed in Adelaide and a family of three arrived in Melbourne on Saturday, while another 12 passengers landed in Sydney on a commercial flight on Sunday night.
The federal government is still helping 67 people, including Australian citizens, permanent residents and family members, who remain in Gaza. “Departures depend on a range of factors and the situation in Gaza remains highly challenging and can change rapidly.” “It really is a very serious humanitarian situation there ... that’s also why we’ve been calling for a humanitarian pause to enable that desperately needed humanitarian support to get to the people that need it, safely.”Hundreds of international citizens were able to cross into Egypt under a deal brokered between the US, Egypt, Israel and Qatar since last week.
