The first group of 119 Chinese citizens evacuated from Israel arrived in the Egyptian capital Cairo on Friday. The evacuees crossed the border between Israel and Egypt at the Taba land port in Egypt's South Sinai Province on Thursday. According to the Chinese Embassy in Egypt, all those evacuated from Israel are students, most of whom are uncertain about when they can return to school. Shotlist: Cairo, Egypt - June 20, 2025: 1.

SOUNDBITE (English) Sun Xue, evacuated Chinese student (ending with shot 4): "I have been in Israel since 2018, so actually war is not a very new word for me. But this time seems different, because this time, the whole war started in 2023, and the most worrying thing is that Iran would join. Every night, we have to wake up one to three times. That is really, really harming us."; 4. Various of evacuees in front of hotel; 5. SOUNDBITE (English) Xiao Yaxuan, evacuated Chinese student (partially overlaid with shots 6-7, ending with shot 8): "I'm a student actually in the UK. I traveled to Israel. And then, this war thing happened, and I got trapped there. Now, I'm in Egypt with the embassy's arrangement. But, it was definitely concerning, because I have never experienced war before. China is very safe, the UK is very safe. All airports are closed, so it was almost impossible to get out. So, that was quite worrying for me."; [SHOTS OVERLAYING SOUNDBITE] 6.
