Florida Governor Ron DeSantis announced Sunday that the first mission has arrived from Israel with evacuees who were unable to return home due to commercial flight cancellations.
Florida partnered with Project Dynamo to bring nearly 300 evacuees home from Israel, including more than 270 to Tampa and seven to Orlando this afternoon.
Once the plane landed in Tampa, evacuees were able to access resources from multiple state agencies. Additionally, the Governor is sending medical supplies, hygiene products, clothing and children’s toys to Israel to help impacted Israelis.
