The Foreign Ministry says it is organizing transportation for Israelis and their families from the Ukrainian city of Lviv to the Polish border at 1 p.m. today.

“Representatives from the Foreign Ministry will be at the border crossing to help you,” the ministry says.

Thousands of Israelis are believed to still be in Ukraine.

The ministry says the buses will leave from Gazova 36 in Lviv and that people must register in advance by calling +380-67-911-1764.
