- I have the latest special report on the consular situation in the Middle East. I am happy to share detailed information. As you know, the Prime Minister has already asked the President for permission to launch an evacuation plane, a medical flight, from Oman. Our consular service has identified 57 individuals from the UAE who could be brought back to the country as early as tomorrow - stated Radosław Sikorski at a press conference.

- Yesterday, we had only 3 flights to Poland from the United Arab Emirates. Today, organized by travel agencies because they have a legal obligation, there are already 10 flights for people departing from the Emirates and flying to Poland from two airports in Oman. And the UAE authorities themselves are organizing a large undertaking. We hope that as many of these flights as possible departing from the Emirates will also be headed to our country, and not just to Warsaw - the head of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs continued.

- Our consular service in Egypt has received 736 people. Part of the evacuation from Jordan took place by sea, a total of 800 Poles, with 300 of them in the last 24 hours. We no longer have any reports from Jordan. The evacuation from Israel has also practically concluded; it involved around 500 people, with only about 30 remaining - he added.
