The Mexican selection has just called on the government for help to be able to leave the country.
The Mexican rhythmic gymnastics team is stranded in Israel due to the war raging there and in Gaza and called on its government for help on Monday to be able to leave the country.
«We are in Israel at a training center to prepare for the next Pan American Games, but the situation has taken an unexpected and worrying turn», Said coach Blajaith Aguilar Rojas in a video posted on social networks.
Unable to leave Israel due to the cancellation of numerous commercial flights, the Mexican selection appeals to the authorities of their country: “We strongly request the support of our government so that we can return home safely as soon as possible“. Mexican gymnasts, numbering five, are scheduled to participate in the Pan American Games in Santiago, Chile from October 20 to November 5, 2023.
They specified, in another publication on social networks, that they were in a safe place, away from the fighting. Nearly 1,300 people have died since the start of the war between Israel and Hamas, triggered on Saturday by an unprecedented offensive by the Palestinian Islamist movement.
