Kazakh
citizens continue to be evacuated from Middle Eastern countries. Over 600 of
our compatriots who had been performing Hajj in Mecca, Medina, and Jeddah in
Saudi Arabia were brought home on four charter flights. Three aircraft landed
in Atyrau and one in Aktau. Another 314 people returned to Kazakhstan from Oman
and the UAE on a Muscat-Almaty flight. Repatriation efforts are ongoing in
coordination with the Foreign Ministry, the Ministry of Transport, and air
carriers. According to the Foreign Ministry, some citizens are also returning
home by land. In particular, Kazakhstan’s diplomatic missions in Tehran,
Gorgan, Ashgabat, and Yerevan assisted in the departure of people through the
Iran-Turkmenistan and Iran-Armenia border crossings. Overall, more than 1,200
Kazakh citizens have been evacuated from the escalation zone and returned home.
