Linda Østlie, who is currently stranded in Dubai with her partner due to chaotic conditions at the airport, is appealing for assistance from the Norwegian Foreign Ministry as she is running out of essential medication. Originally scheduled to return home to Norway on Tuesday, the couple now finds themselves stuck in their hotel, facing an urgent medical crisis as Østlie requires weekly injections of chemotherapy. Amidst turbulence in the city, she has expressed her frustrations and fears regarding her health situation.

In her distress, Østlie reached out to the Norwegian Foreign Ministry, who advised her to visit a local hospital. However, her experience at the hospital was disheartening as she faced significant chaos and had to make multiple appointments with different doctors. The hospital's inability to provide her routine medications has severely impacted her mental and physical well-being, leading her to escalate her plea for assistance.

While she eventually managed to obtain chemotherapy in pill form, other vital medications remain inaccessible, deepening her anxiety about her health amid a backdrop of sirens and explosions in the city. The Foreign Ministry has deployed an emergency team, including a doctor, to assist stranded Norwegians like Østlie, highlighting the critical situation many travelers are facing in Dubai during this crisis.
