UAE secures return of 6000 nationals amidst regional developments

Local authorities have announced the successful evacuation of around 6000 nationals and their companions, who were safely returned to the UAE through various land and air entry points from across the world.

The operations were carried out by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MoFA) and the National Emergency Crisis and Disaster Management Authority (NCEMA) in coordination with the relevant entities. 

Some flights also included residents stranded abroad who were unable to return to the UAE due to airspace closures.

The evacuations were achieved through the country's rapid response, continuous monitoring, and close coordination with local authorities, as well as cooperation with the UAE’s diplomatic missions abroad, which played a key role in facilitating citizens' return.

The ministry has also reminded UAE nationals abroad to register in the “Twajudi” service and to contact the dedicated emergency number (+971 80024) in cases of emergency or crisis.

Meanwhile, NCEMA urged the public to continue adhering to guidance issued by the relevant authorities, rely on official sources of information, and avoid circulating rumors or unverified information.
