01:10 We are all waiting for the crossings of our fellow Filipinos who are fighting in the war in Gaza.
01:15 And even if the Filipino refugees have reached the Egyptian side of the Rafah Border Crossing,
01:20 the Philippine Embassy in Jordan continues the efforts to help the Filipinos cross the border.
01:26 This is what you can see in the video sent to GMA Integrated News.
01:30 Two Buntis are being targeted, one of them is his wife.
01:35 The Buntis are feeling the pain of the "Chan."
01:38 The other Buntis are saying that all the Filipinos who are on the list to leave the country are continuing to leave Gaza.
01:44 Because of the Embassy's talks, two batches of Filipinos are also being targeted.
01:49 Now, they are just waiting for the process of their papers on the Egyptian side of the border crossing
01:55 so that they can enter Egypt and escape the chaos in Gaza.
02:07 Gaza has almost been destroyed in the last month of the Israeli attack.
02:11 No one was saved, even the so-called safe zones, such as refugee camps.
02:16 The United Nations has already condemned the bombing of the Israel Defense Forces in hospitals, mosques, churches, and others.
02:22 Hamas has also used civilians as human shields and rockets to fly over Israel.
02:27 The call for a ceasefire is repeated.
02:30 The way forward is clear. A humanitarian ceasefire now.
02:35 Gaza is becoming a graveyard for children.
02:38 But it seems like it will happen soon.
02:41 Because Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has condemned it, there will be no ceasefire.
02:45 What is being considered is a tactical little pause or a brief ceasefire for the entry and exit of refugees from Gaza.
02:54 What is being done to avoid the danger of war is the Rafah border crossing, which was reopened yesterday.
03:00 42 Filipinos have already crossed the Egyptian side. 46 are scheduled to leave Gaza today, but four have decided not to leave.
03:09 According to the DFA, the Palestinians will also allow their Palestinian wives to be with the Filipinos.
03:14 The DFA is just waiting for the official document.
03:17 In one case, there is somebody, a Filipino citizen, son of a Filipino woman, who has Down syndrome
03:25 and does not want to leave without his Palestinian wife because he needs care.
03:30 There is a statement that has been made by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Israel verbally to our embassy
03:37 that the Palestinian spouses of our nationals will be allowed.
03:41 The nurse, Rehidor Esguerra, who is one of the two Filipino staff of Doctors Without Borders, was the first to leave and is now in the Philippines.
03:49 I feel better now. I can sleep for more than three hours a day.
03:56 I can eat a delicious meal at least three times a day.
04:04 Because of his long experience in chaotic places, he was assigned as the evacuation team leader of the 22-member international team of Doctors Without Borders in Gaza,
04:12 where he will return in 2018.
04:15 He was the last to visit the Jenin Refugee Camp after it was hit by Israeli air strikes.
04:21 The bombardment of our locations, which were less than 100 meters, prompted our security responsible to give us a directive to evacuate from one place to another,
04:32 from Gaza City going up to the south and going to different facilities.
04:39 That is one of the unforgettable experiences.
04:42 In the first week of the war, they were in a safe room for four days.
04:45 They also had a problem with their food and water, but he did not forget to call his parents in the Philippines.
04:51 Just a few lines of saying that I'm still in a safe house, nothing big happens or something.
04:58 No accident, no injuries, just to keep them calm.
05:02 His wife from Italy is also a staff of Doctors Without Borders, so she understands his situation.
05:08 But despite the experience, if there is an opportunity, he will still return to Gaza.
05:13 At 5 p.m. here in Egypt, where they have been waiting for hours, our countrymen will be able to go out to the same Egypt side of the Raqqa border crossing.
05:26 And outside the border crossing, the Philippine Embassy in Cairo is already waiting for our countrymen to meet.
