RF airplane brings 7 Russians, 22 foreigners to Moscow from Libya

MOSCOW, February 28 (Itar-Tass) -- An EMERCOM airplane has brought
seven Russian citizens and 22 foreigners from Tripoli to Moscow. The
evacuation of Russian citizens from Libya is going on, some of them are to be evacuated by a ferryboat on Monday, a source in the information department of the Ministry of Emergency Situations told Itar-Tass on Monday.
"An EMERCOM airplane Il-76, which evacuated Russian and foreign
citizens from the Libyan capital, landed at 01.30 a.m. Moscow time on
Monday at the Domodedovo airport," the source said.
EMERCOM psychologists were accompanying the passengers in the flight.
Russian citizens worked mainly in Russian oil companies on contract with RZD in the Libyan cities of Tripoli, Sirt and Ras Lanouf, where the opposition and the pro-government troops and mercenaries had engaged into clashes since February 15.
In the morning on February 27 the St. Stephan ferryboat arrived in Ras Lanouf. The ferryboat is to evacuate more than 1,000 people, including more than 120 Russian citizens and the foreigners making the rest of them. "Over the bad weather and the stormy sea the ferryboat failed to set out from Ras Lanouf on Sunday. The ferryboat is expected to leave Libya on Monday," the source said.
Russian and foreign citizens are waiting for evacuation in a safe camp four kilometers away from the port and are provided with water, food and medical supplies.
The EMERCOM airplanes have evacuated about 500 people, including about 340 Russian citizens, from Tripoli on February 23 to 28.
Other countries are also evacuating all their citizens.
