Eight Filipinos in Israel were hurt during the 12-day conflict, though the other seven have been discharged after receiving treatment for minor to moderate injuries.
Alert Level 3, which encourages the voluntary repatriation of Filipinos from Israel and Iran, remains in place though a ceasefire agreement has been reached and is now in effect.
For Israel, the Philippine embassy said 140 overseas Filipinos lost their homes due to missile impact, with 125 of them having been transferred to temporary housing accommodations and Department of Migrant Workers (DMW) shelters, while 15 are being processed for resettlement. Some 26 OFWs have undergone voluntary repatriation, joining an earlier batch of another 100 Filipino pilgrims and students. About 75 more have been confirmed for the next batch for repatriation.
The Philippine embassy said 481 have received various forms of assistance, such as emergency financial assistance, provision of temporary shelter, relief packages containing food, clothes and hygiene products, while 141 have received psychosocial support and counseling.
