The first batch of Filipinos fleeing the war in Israel will head for home on Oct. 16, the Department of Foreign Affairs said, as it confirmed a third Filipino casualty Friday.
Israel has imposed a total blockade on the Palestinian enclave and looks poised to launch a ground invasion on Gaza. The Philippine embassies in Egypt and Jordan are now preparing for the repatriation of Filipinos in Gaza, with its officials already on the border to assist them once the humanitarian corridor opens.
De Vega said the government is hoping that the repatriates will be taken care of once they are at the border. “The first batch at the government’s expense will be leaving on Oct. 16—there are eight of them… And as promised, once they arrive, they’ll be given the proper assistance, the usual reintegration and other assistance packages provided by the DMW and OWWA ,” he said.
