About two thousand Jews crossed the border of Belarus and remained in a field between the border of Ukraine and Belarus, where they have been stuck for quite some time.
Several hundred of them arrived yesterday following a rumor that they are opening the border to Ukraine, but found themselves joining more than a thousand who were stuck there already a few days ago.
In Ukraine they are not allowed to enter and so they claim in Belarus too and those two thousand Jews find themselves sleeping in the tents of the Red Cross that deserve to give them food and water.
Red Cross teams arrive every few hours to check on the situation of the Jews and at the same time, the Belarusian government also sent teams including quite a few soldiers in order to set up tents and provide those Jews with food, drink and a place to sleep.
As can be seen in the photos sent to us from there, quite a few Jews found themselves lying asleep on the side of the road, asking the army to allow them to cross the border and trying to find solutions to the unpleasant situation created at the border between the two countries.
The Foreign Ministry is aware of the case and claims that, "Following a significant increase in morbidity, the Ukrainian government has decided to close its borders to foreign nationals between August 28 and September 29. The Israeli embassies in Ukraine and Belarus are in close contact with the two countries' authorities to ensure humanitarian supplies." "The Israelis who are on the border between the two countries. We call on the Israelis who are there to retrace their steps and leave Israel for Israel as soon as possible."
In a conversation with Israelis from there, they say that, "It is shocking to see how old men and boys try to grab a mattress to lay their head for a few hours. Some of the followers left Israel two weeks ago, on their way to Uman, "As a result, they went to Belarus, where they have been staying for about two weeks. In Belarus, hotels went up to the public all this time, while in Uman most of them with apartments then it did not cost them. .
