The Philippine Embassy in Jordan confirmed that five Filipinos have successfully returned to Jordan from the West Bank amid the ongoing conflict between Israel and Hamas militants.

In an issued statement through a Facebook post, the embassy said that Philippine Ambassador to Jordan Wilfredo C. Santos headed the Philippine Embassy Team, alongside Labor Attaché Armi Evangel N. Peña and the MWO team, in assisting the five Filipinos to cross the West Bank and Jordan border on Wednesday and are bound to go back to the Philippines on Thursday.

“The Philippine Embassy provided transportation to the five Filipinos, who were fetched at their respective residences in the West Bank and brought to the Allenby border crossing on the Israeli side, where they were met and assisted by Amman PE officers and personnel who facilitated their entry to Jordan through the King Hussein bridge crossing,” it said.

Meanwhile, the first batch of Pinoy repatriates from the West Bank arrived in the country last November 9.
