Cairo, Newsyemen, Private:

Hundreds of Yemeni stranded in the Arab Republic of Egypt suffer from their inability to face life, especially after the flight stopped for the third month in a row.

Cairo is the first capital in the density of stranded people, most of whom came for medical tourism, in addition to students who have completed their studies and want to return.

However, according to some stranded people, the Yemeni embassy employees are not helping and keeps giving appointments without implementing them.

While embassy officials confirmed that they are doing their best to evacuate the stranded at the earliest time, and it was decided on Tuesday 9 June that the first flight to Aden, would be launched.

On the other hand, the stranded demanded that the ambassador and all concerned be held accountable for this unjustified delay.

Ahmed Ahmed says, finally, they gave us numbers to communicate with, but all of them are closed. 

This is new evidence that the embassy is not serious about dealing in a transparent manner and holds it responsible for its stranded people.

He added, "It is a shame to have an ambassador in a capital inhabited by more than 800,000 Yemenis, and his efforts do not go beyond reviewing statements that we do not see the results on the ground."

The Yemeni Aviation Office is also linking the matter to the embassy, given that the stranded people need medical procedures and checks that will be conducted 72 hours before traveling, which is the procedure that delayed the launch of the flights, according to statements by embassy officials.

Many of the stranded worry about manipulating with reservations, as the pressure is too great and the numbers of stranded up to 10 thousand, in light of trips will be limited.

It is worth noting that the suffering has reached some of the stranded to expel them from their housing because they are unable to pay additional rents, not to mention the expenses and medicines.

On the other hand, the Yemeni stranded people in Sudan are going through the same circumstances and perhaps the most difficult, with nearly a thousand stuck waiting for the Yemeni embassy to evacuate them at the earliest time.
