Story of Passengers Trapped in Floods in Dubai, No Food, Luxurious Airport Turns into 'Evacuation Site'

Dream - Chaos continues one day after a major flood hits Dubai. One of the busiest airports in the world, Dubai International Airport, is paralyzed due to the flood inundating the runway. The flood not only submerged buildings and caused traffic jams but also caused its residents to lose electricity, water, and internet supply.

There are also many foreigners who are trapped at the airport and cannot return to their countries. James and Elizabeth Devine, a couple from England, had to stay at Dubai International Airport after transiting from Australia.

Although Dubai airport is known for its luxury, unfortunately, due to a flood disaster, they were stranded without food with a six-month-old baby.

"The restaurant is closed. The only food we have is from duty-free, so they don't provide food for babies or young children, so there are no diapers, so we are sharing diapers with people."
word James, as quoted from The New Daily.

"We are all trapped in this resource-limited airport. There are hundreds or thousands of people here. They have to open the duty-free shop so that we can eat, but they ran out of food,"
"imbuhnya" translates to "additionally."

The same thing was experienced by Andrew and Kate Golding. The trip that was supposed to be enjoyable turned into a nightmare. Initially, they went to Dubai to celebrate Kate's 60th birthday.

But after the storm hit, they struggled to get to the airport through flooded cars. After arriving at the airport, they instead encountered a chaotic system. "The airport and Emirates, which I considered one of the best airlines, had no staff, no information, no coordination, no professionalism, no care, no disaster planning. People were sleeping in the lounge, on the floor, food boxes everywhere. It was really dirty," said Andrew.

Margaret McArthur and her husband, Derek, also had a bad experience at Dubai airport due to flooding. When they were transiting to Tokyo, they couldn't fly and were trapped there for 13 hours. The 75-year-old couple complained about the lack of food.

"We have been here for 13 hours so far. There is no food and only coffee. There are no facilities where we are asked to stay. We don't know what's happening,"
word Margaret.
