Hungary evacuates 87 citizens from the Middle East
One of Hungary’s largest evacuation operations in recent years has successfully reached a “safe stage,” Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto declared after a Hungarian aircraft brought home 87 Hungarian citizens and one American from Israel.
The operation was particularly complex due to the closure of Israeli and Iranian airspace.
All Hungarians who requested evacuation had to first travel by bus to the Israeli-Egyptian border, Szijjarto said.
From there, they continued to Sharm el-Sheikh airport in Egypt, where a Hungarian Armed Forces aircraft was waiting to fly them home.
“We are, of course, helping everyone who needs it,” the minister said, adding that these operations are more challenging than ever due to the changing security situation in the Middle East. (hvg.hu; nepszava.hu; economx.hu; hirtv.hu)
