26 Countries Ask India for Help In Evacuating Citizens From War-Torn Yemen

Twenty six nations have now requested India to help evacuate their citizens from Yemen, where the situation is rapidly deteriorating into a civil war between armed militias trying to wrest control of the country.

India mounted a massive rescue effort and it has been a success. As of today, over 3,000 Indians have been evacuated by Indian navy ships, airforce planes and national carrier Air India and brought back to the home country. International countries with citizens trapped in Yemen — including major powers such as France and the United States — have taken notice and are among those who have requested India for help, according to external affairs spokesperson Syed Akbaruddin.
