Some 170 new immigrants from Ukraine land in Israel’s Ben Gurion Airport, the Immigration and Absorption Ministry says.
The 170 Ukrainian refugees flew in a special flight from Kishinev in Moldova. They are beginning their immigration process at the airport before moving to hotel rooms, where they will remain until they find longer-term housing, the ministry says.
