Morocco Evacuates 35 Students from War-Torn Sumy, Ukraine

To succeed in this operation, the Moroccan embassy mobilized all its resources to enable these students to leave Sumy, a city located on the Russian-Ukrainian border, said Faouz El Achabi.

These students traveled by train from Poltava to Lviv, a journey that lasted 28 hours. She stressed that since the beginning of the crisis, the embassy has set up, in coordination with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, African Cooperation and Moroccans Residing Abroad, a crisis cell, operational 24 hours a day, to facilitate the repatriation of Moroccan nationals from Ukraine.

More than 7,000 Moroccans were able to return to Morocco thanks to the work of the Moroccan embassy and the crisis cell, which, it is said, remained in constant contact with Moroccan students until their arrival at a safe place.
