- We have information that since March 1st, over 2800 people, either via civilian airlines or directly with the help of our consular posts, have evacuated from these threatened areas. This is indeed a large number, but I want to tell you straight away that there is no reason to feel any particular satisfaction with what has been achieved so far, because there are still many people waiting not only for help, but very often for information - stated Prime Minister Donald Tusk during a meeting concerning the situation in the Middle East.
