OFWs from war-torn Israel return home

The OFWs flew from Ben Gurion International Airport in Tel-Aviv, Israel to the United Arab Emirates, and then to Manila on Etihad Airways Flight EY464, which landed at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport Terminal 3 at 3:20 p.m.

“The situation then was really scary; there were many Hamas militants who just stabbed people in the middle of the road,” Dela Cruz said.“Ayoko na ,” the OFW said.The 16 of 17 OFWs were met at the NAIA by Department of Foreign Affairs Undersecretary Eduardo de Vega, Department of Migrant Workers officer-in-charge Hans Leo Cacdac, Sen. Ruffy Tulfo, Technical Education and Skills Development Authority deputy director General John Bertiz III, OFW party-list Rep.

“So far, we have brought home 28 Filipinos up to Oct. 14. These people returned home, not because of the conflict. Many of them are scheduled to come home early,” Ignacio said. The evacuation of Filipinos from Gaza is now mandatory, after the DFA on Sunday raised Alert Level 4 over the area amid ongoing air strikes and a deepening crisis.

The militant Hamas’ surprise incursion has prompted intense aerial bombardment by Israel, a complete siege of the Gaza Strip and an order to evacuate the northern part of the enclave within 24 hours, which began last Thursday evening, local time. “The government agencies will provide immediate assistance and other forms of support, including psycho-social counseling, stress debriefing, medical referral and temporary accommodation to the OFWs while awaiting transit to their respective provinces,” the agency said.
