Poland is still working to help Poles leave the Gaza Strip and evacuate them to a safe place, according to Jacek Siewiera, head of the National Security Bureau (BBN).
Over 25 Polish citizens were in the Gaza Strip before the terrorist attack, with one being held hostage. Poland is awaiting approval from Israel to facilitate the evacuation of its citizens from the Gaza Strip through the Rafah land crossing along the border with Egypt. Siewiera and Presidential Minister Wojciech Kolarski met in Israel with a delegation of the National Security Council, stating that Poland recognises Israel’s right to defend against Hamas terrorists but also emphasises the need to observe international law during military operations and save civilian lives in the Gaza Strip. Poland has offered to deliver humanitarian aid for civilians in the Gaza Strip and has already evacuated over 1,500 Polish citizens and foreign nationals from Israel.
