Dozens of Yemenis face an unknown fate in the Gaza Strip, amid continuing efforts by the Yemeni authorities, in coordination with a group of neighboring countries, to evacuate them from the territory of the Strip, which is witnessing ongoing Israeli aggression.

The Deputy Media Attaché at the Yemeni Embassy in Cairo, Haidra Al-Qadi, said in a statement that there are 62 people stranded in the Gaza Strip, including 38 who hold Yemeni nationality, and 24 others who hold Palestinian nationality and are of Yemeni origin.

He stressed that the Yemeni embassy in Cairo is closely following up on the conditions of the Yemenis stranded in Gaza, and has opened, from the first moments of the Israeli aggression, a hotline for communication and to follow up on all developments related to Yemeni nationals.

The judge pointed out that “the Yemeni authorities are in contact with our brothers in the State of Qatar, in their capacity as truce mediators in Gaza, with the aim of evacuating Yemeni nationals from the territory of the Gaza Strip to Egypt via the Rafah crossing, and then either settling in Egypt or returning them to Yemen.”

It was stated that the Yemeni embassy in Cairo, based on directives from the Yemeni authorities, is communicating with the official authorities in the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan regarding the status of Yemeni nationals on the Jordanian border, and coordinating their entry into Jordanian territory or their return to the Egyptian capital, Cairo.
