Families of individuals who traveled to Umrah with the Musafirin Group, a non-governmental organization facilitating Umrah trips, have lodged complaints regarding their inability to return to the Maldives and their subsequent struggles while stranded abroad.
Approximately 50,000 pilgrims, under the management of the group during the previous Ramadan, were expected to arrive in the Maldives yesterday. However, their flight via Medina to Dubai was canceled due to heavy rainfall, leading to the temporary closure of Dubai's main international airport.
