In this context, Philippine Ambassador to Jordan Wilfredo Santos met on Saturday with embassy staff and the Office of Migrant Workers to plan for border extraction operations.

The embassy reported to have provided assistance to 27 Filipinos stranded in Israel, while the consulate there reported one citizen in critical condition with serious injuries following major lung surgery.

A total of 88 Filipinos lost their homes in the missile attacks and are receiving temporary shelter, including a baby born on June 10.

On the other hand, 223 citizens applied for repatriation, but only 26 were confirmed and are in the process.

From Manila, Senator-elect Imee Marcos expressed concern for the safety of Filipinos amid escalating attacks between Iran and Israel with US involvement and its effects on the Philippine economy.

On June 13, a series of large-scale Israeli strikes against Iran reignited tensions between the two countries, and the situation was further worsened by the US bombing of Iran yesterday.
