About 300 Russian minors are expected to be evacuated from the Gaza Strip – Kommersant

Kommersant spoke with one of the Russian women located in the Gaza Strip, Yulia Shandogli:

“We have been waiting for evacuation for a month now. My house was bombed on the third day, my two daughters and granddaughter moved from Gaza City to Khan Yunis, closer to the Rafah checkpoint. First they sat in the house of one of my friends, then they said that the house next to their house would be bombed. We ran to another one, which itself was huddled with strangers in the garage. As a result, eight of us sat in the garage, rubbing against each other. On Wednesday our husbands joined us.

My husband walked from the north of the sector to the south. He is a doctor and until recently lived in Shifa Hospital, like thousands of other people who tried to hide there. They had nowhere to go and the hospital seemed safe. Now she’s being bombed.

Our every morning begins at five and six in the morning with the search for bread, food and water. If we, adults, can survive on anything, the same can of stew that they give us in humanitarian aid, then my granddaughter needs hot food. She is not yet a year old. There is not enough mother’s milk. Plus another problem is poor water quality. All our children have already gotten sick. My granddaughter has had diarrhea for three days now. If we don’t die from the bombing, we’ll die here from disease. And we don’t know how many more strangers will tolerate us here in the garage. Nothing is clear about the evacuation, but there is nowhere to go.”
