Another 250 Australians, their families and citizens from other countries left Israel on Australian evacuation flights on Sunday night.
Another flight is scheduled to leave on Monday, Senator Wong told Sky News.“I would also note that the flights, there were quite a number of no‑shows of people who had registered but chose not to fly.“Over the last few days I have been saying to people, if you wish to leave, please leave now and don’t wait for a later flight.
