19 Russians have already become victims of the escalation in the Middle East, TASS reports. The head of the Russian Permanent Mission to the UN, Vasily Nebenzya, called the outbreak of violence that has engulfed Israel and Palestine unprecedented. As a result, he stressed, thousands of civilians on both sides were killed. The number of victims is approaching 18,000 people.

The diplomat previously noted that about 1,000 Russian citizens and members of their families remain blocked in the Gaza Strip. He called on the Israeli authorities to open humanitarian corridors. 

Moscow previously stated its readiness to evacuate Russian citizens from the Gaza Strip. According to the Russian Ambassador to Israel Anatoly Viktorov, the embassy is monitoring the situation. 

The Gaza Strip administration notes that the number of Palestinian casualties has exceeded 5,000 people, and the number of wounded is three times more. Another 1,500 people are considered missing.
