50 Pinoy caregivers to leave for Israel July 27
The first batch of 50 Filipino caregivers is set to depart for Israel on July 27, following the lifting of the deployment suspension.
The Philippine Overseas Employment Administration (POEA) Administrator Bernard Olalia confirmed that 377 caregivers are currently being processed for deployment to Israel.
The deployment suspension was lifted by the Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) due to the improved conditions in Israel, specifically the Hamas ceasefire.
The suspension was initially imposed in May due to the tensions between Israeli forces and Gaza's armed groups.
