Five South Korean nationals who evacuated from the war-ravaged Gaza Strip to Egypt last week have arrived in South Korea.

The Dubai-departed flight carrying the group of family members, including a woman in her 40s, identified by her surname Choi, landed at Incheon International Airport at around 5:05 p.m. Monday.

The family was greeted by relatives at the airport and left soon after. They declined to be interviewed. 

The group had taken a flight from Cairo International Airport on Sunday afternoon and made a stopover in Dubai, before heading to South Korea.

Choi's family, who had lived in Gaza City for over seven years, had gone to a relative's house immediately after the outbreak of war between Israel and Hamas on October 7, then fled to southern Khan Younis three days later.

Amid power outage and shortage of food, the family managed to pass through the Rafah border crossing into Egypt last Thursday, after Israel and Hamas agreed to allow evacuation of foreign nationals and dual-passport holders from the besieged Gaza.
