CAIRO – 30 December 2020: Minister of Immigration and Egyptian Expats Nabila Makram stated Tuesday that the ministry contributed in securing accommodation for 600 Egyptians stuck in the United Arab Emirates.

 

Those were transiting as they were heading to Kuwait when it suspended aviation because of the outbreak of the second wave of COVID-19. However, Kuwait will allow them in on January 2.  

 

In a different context, Makram affirmed the Egyptian embassy in Riyadh is working closely with the Saudi side to repatriate the body of an Egyptian teacher, Hani Abdel Tawab, who was shot dead by one of his students. The minister expressed confidence in the Saudi judiciary, and extended condolences to the victim's family.

 

The Ministry of Immigration and Egyptian Expats Affairs Nabila Makram told press last week that the operations room of expats stuck abroad has been activated as some countries are suspending aviation due to the outbreak of the second wave of COVID-19.

 

Such countries include Saudi Arabia and Kuwait having the largest numbers of Egyptian expats. The minister calls upon Egyptian citizens in those countries, and others transiting in the United Arab Emirates as they were heading to Kuwait to register their contact info so they would be repatriated.

 

Egyptian citizens stuck aboard can seek help through the Facebook page of the ministry, email, or Whatsapp.
