Thousands rescued from Yemen

India repatriates almost 4 000, but slow response criticised

INDIA’S evacuation of nearly 4 000 nationals from Yemen has been a triumph of improvisation, but some officials have slammed the slow response to the crisis.

India rescued more than 1 000 people by plane and ship on Monday, the most on a single day since Saudi Arabia launched air strikes against Iran-allied Houthi rebels in Yemen on March 26.
