Kenya has started to bring back its people from Israel after the war began 10 days ago.
The first group of 11 people who are being moved to a safer place is expected to come today, as shared by Roseline Njogu, a senior person responsible for helping Kenyan citizens living abroad.
Right now, more than 500 Kenyan citizens are registered with the Kenyan embassy in Israel. Many of them live in places that are safe and not affected by the fighting happening there.
On 7 October, Palestinian Hamas militants attacked Israeli communities near the Gaza Strip in a way that had never happened before. Israel has responded with attacks on Gaza, and they are likely going to send troops into the area as well.
At the start of the conflict, some people from Kenya left on their own.
According to the East African newspaper, most Kenyans in Israel are students, people on religious trips, or those doing short scientific research programs.
