According to the ministry, it asked the Dutch embassy in Port of Spain for assistance and got it so that he could be put on an aircraft out of Israel for repatriation.
When he left Amsterdam, the ministry was able to plan and manage his further travel, and on October 18, he returned home.
After the Palestinian militant group Hamas began attacking Israel on October 7, he is the second T&T national who is a resident of Israel and has been safely evacuated.
More than 1,400 individuals were killed in the Hamas assaults, while more than 3,400 people in Gaza have been killed as a consequence of Israeli reprisal bombings.
Due to major international airlines canceling both incoming and outgoing flights due to the deterioration in regional security, foreign nationals in Israel are finding it difficult to leave the country.
For T&T nationals in Israel who want to be evacuated or want to let others know they are in the area, the ministry has subsequently established an email helpline, [email protected].
The ministry declared that it would keep an eye on the Middle East’s condition while also getting in touch with any TT residents who are currently living there.
