Evacuation from Yemen not possible |
India`s external affairs minister Sushma Swaraj has made it clear in a series of tweets that India has had to shut down its embassy in war-torn Yemen and it is not possible to evacuate any more Indians from the Arab nation any more. India evacuated more than 4,500 Indians and over 2,500 foreigners from Yemen. She said that the Indian government made repeated requests calling upon Indians to leave Yemen. Later, India had to close embassy in Sanaa due to situation prevailing there. She added that some people chose to stay back. Some of those evacuated, returned to Yemen,” Sushma said. Yemen is under attack from a Saudi Arabia-led Arab coalition after an established government was dislodged from power by Houthi rebels. The 16-month civil war has killed more than 6,500 people and displaced more than 2.5 million people.
