Deputy Foreign Minister: We are evacuating the most needy Poles from the UAE

Polish Deputy Foreign Minister Marcin Bosacki announced an upcoming evacuation of vulnerable Polish nationals from the United Arab Emirates, focusing on those in critical health situations.

In a recent interview on TVP Info's evening program 'Question of the Day', Poland's Deputy Foreign Minister Marcin Bosacki disclosed that a crisis team led by the Minister of Sports and Tourism Jakub Rutnicki has made initial decisions regarding the evacuation of Poles from the Middle East. This operation is particularly aimed at providing medical evacuation for those in severe health conditions who urgently require medication. Bosacki suggested that further details about the evacuation would be fully communicated shortly.

While the current focus is on evacuating citizens primarily from the United Arab Emirates, Bosacki emphasized that flights will not be departing directly from the UAE due to the limited time windows available for departures. Instead, the evacuees will be transported from neighboring countries such as Oman and Saudi Arabia. Additionally, Bosacki highlighted that airlines from the Gulf countries are resuming flights, with the first planes carrying Polish nationals having already landed in Warsaw and PoznaΕ„.

This evacuation initiative signifies Poland's commitment to safeguarding the well-being of its citizens abroad, especially during times of crisis. By prioritizing medical evacuations and coordinating with international partners for logistics, the Polish government aims to ensure that those in the most vulnerable situations receive the support they need to return home safely and swiftly.
