Dubai on Alert: Empty Shelves, Concern for Greeks

Dubai is on alert as images of empty supermarket shelves are captured by Angela Panteli, a permanent resident of Dubai. Consumers are seeking bottled water and long-lasting food, fearing an escalation of tension.

According to protothema.gr, several Greeks living and working in Dubai have submitted repatriation requests following information from the Greek Embassy in Abu Dhabi. Concern about possible new attacks is leading many to decide to return to Greece temporarily.

The UAE Ministry of Defense announced that air defense forces have intercepted 137 missiles and 209 unmanned aircraft since the start of the Iranian offensive. Yesterday's strike at Dubai airport resulted in the death of one person and the injury of seven others.
