A Maldivian student has been evacuated from Yemen’s capital along with hundreds of Indian nationals fleeing air strikes in an escalating sectarian conflict.
The student was flown from Sana’a to Djibouti yesterday and is now in India’s Mumbai, his family has confirmed. He is to arrive in Maldives tomorrow morning.
The student had gone to Sana’a in December last year to study the Qur’an.
The Foreign Ministry last week said families of two more students had asked to be evacuated.
