Flight Disruptions Leave 4,000 Indian Umrah Pilgrims Stranded In Makkah, Seek Govt Help
Riyadh, Saudi Arabia: At least 4,000 Umrah pilgrims are stranded in Saudi Arabia amid intense conflict between Riyadh and the Houthis in Yemen.
Following attacks on key international airports, including those in Dammam and Riyadh, thousands of pilgrims have been left stranded in Makkah and Madinah without enough money, food and other essentials.
With return flights suddenly cancelled after airstrikes that have claimed over 15 lives, pilgrims from India are left with no option but to stay indefinitely. Stranded pilgrims have sought immediate government intervention in the matter.
