Indians in Gaza safe

Jerusalem: Indians in Gaza are safe and taking precautions amid the massive Israeli military operation on Saturday. “Despite signal disruptions I kept on trying and have managed to talk to all the Indians living in Gaza. They are all safe and confined to their houses,” an Indian woman, Alka Toman, married to a Palestinian and living in the Gaza Strip said.

There are a dozen Indians living in Gaza, some of them married to Palestinians and others working at a centre affiliated to Mother Teresa’s Missionaries of Charity. — PTI
