Evacuation activities are being carried out with the support of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Ministry of Transport, and diplomatic missions in a 24/7 mode.
March 7, Saturday, turned out to be one of the busiest days of the operation. Nine flights were carried out from Saudi Arabia, bringing back 1,680 people. Additionally, two flights from the United Arab Emirates delivered 394 citizens, and five compatriots arrived from Iran.
Special attention is being paid to the evacuation from Doha. The first group of 208 people was successfully evacuated thanks to the joint efforts of the embassies of Uzbekistan in Qatar and Saudi Arabia, as well as the Ministry of Transport. These citizens flew out of King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh on board Centrum Air and successfully landed in Tashkent on March 8 at 05:40.
Currently, a second group of 126 people has already been formed at the diplomatic mission in Qatar. To transport them to Riyadh, the embassy has rented three buses, which are being escorted by diplomats. The evacuation of this group is scheduled for today, March 8, using a charter flight to Tashkent. Authorities emphasize that the work to return citizens is being carried out systematically and in stages to ensure the complete safety of all compatriots.
