The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has been making bank transfers to help Brazilians in the Gaza Strip, according to diplomatic sources interviewed by CNN .
As the structure of the site is collapsing, making it difficult to enter inputs, sending money was the quickest way to send support to the group awaiting authorization to leave through the Rafah crossing, on the border with Egypt.
Sources coordinating the movement of Brazilians in Gaza told CNN that the amount is being used to purchase food and medicine. The amount received was not reported by Itamaraty.
A CNN found that 28 Brazilians are awaiting repatriation there. Twelve are in Khan Younes and 16 are in the Rafah crossing region. There are 14 children, 8 women and 6 men. All are awaiting authorization to cross the border through Egypt.
A presidential plane — sent on Thursday (12) specifically to rescue Brazilians in Gaza — continues in Rome, Italy. He is just waiting for authorization to go to Egypt.
The Brazilian government has negotiated on all fronts in an attempt to make a humanitarian corridor viable.
President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva (PT) called the Palestinian authority Mahmoud Abbas on Saturday (14). On Friday (13), he had already spoken with the president of Israel, Isaac Herzog. Lula also called the president of Egypt, Abdel Fattah al-Sissi.
Furthermore, Itamaraty does not rule out contacting Hamas itself to negotiate the withdrawal of the Brazilians.
