The Ministry of Foreign Affairs informs that on 22 June, ten Latvian nationals departed from Sharm El Sheikh, Egypt, to Chișinău, Moldova.
The evacuation flight from Tel Aviv, Israel, was organised by the Embassy of Ukraine to Israel in cooperation with the Embassy of Ukraine to Egypt.
Thus far, a total of 42 Latvian nationals have departed Israel via evacuation flights organised by Ukraine, Lithuania, and Slovakia through Egypt and Jordan, of whom 13 have left on their own.
In total, since the escalation of the security situation in the region on 13 June, 55 Latvian nationals have departed from Israel.
At present, 44 individuals are registered in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs’ Consular Register, including 12 short-term travellers. The Ministry remains in contact with short-term travellers and is providing information on departure options. Given the low interest in departure, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs announces that the active phase of evacuation has concluded.
As of 23 June, Israeli airspace has reopened to flights. To coordinate the departure of foreign nationals from Israel, the Israeli Ministry of Tourism invites foreigners to register here: Tourist Evacuation From Israel (govforms.gov.il). Should evacuation flights be organised from Israel once the security situation permits, the Israeli authorities will inform travellers accordingly.
