Brazilian President Lula da Silva called on Thursday, in a telephone conversation with his Israeli counterpart, Isaac Herzog, for the creation of a humanitarian corridor “for people who want to leave the Gaza Strip through Egypt.”
“I transmitted my call to a humanitarian corridor so that people who want to leave the Gaza Strip through Egypt have security,” the Brazilian president wrote on the social network X.
Lula da Silva also asked Isaac Herzog to take “all possible initiatives so that there is no lack of water, electricity and medicines in hospitals.”
“It is not possible for innocent people to be victims of the madness of those who want war,” he stressed.
According to a statement from the Brazilian Presidency, Lula da Sila thanked Israeli support in the operations to remove Brazilians seeking to leave the conflict zone.
The Brazilian Government sent a presidential plane to Egypt this Thursday, with the mission of rescuing around twenty Brazilians who asked to be expelled from the Gaza Strip.
The South American giant has so far repatriated 494 Brazilians, of which 69 are on their way to the country and will arrive at dawn on Friday.
Another 214 arrived in Rio de Janeiro on Thursday and the first group of 211 Brazilians arrived at the Brasilia air base in the early hours of Wednesday.
Data published by the Brazilian Ministry of Foreign Affairs indicate that there are 14 thousand Brazilians living in Israel and around six thousand in Palestine.
