Fear and concern are growing for the Sardinians in Dubai , who experienced the Iranian drone attack on the night of February 28. Another attack was launched that evening in the UAE city. The problem is also the absolute uncertainty regarding their return to Italy. Flights are gradually being canceled. Only a few planes, very few, are taking off escorted by fighter jets.

HERE ALL THE NEWS ABOUT THE WAR

The communications reaching those concerned are not encouraging: the flight from Dubai International Airport to Fiumicino tomorrow afternoon has been cancelled and the cancellation of Saturday's flight seems certain.

The UAE authorities are also providing financial assistance to those staying in Dubai hotels. However, the situation is challenging: with border closures, it's impossible to travel by car to reach other airports in the region, after traveling thousands of kilometers. At this time, it's impossible to obtain reliable information about departures. The situation is further aggravated by the difficulty in contacting the Italian embassy for assistance. Tens of minutes on the phone are not enough to get official communications from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

Marco Petitta, a lawyer from Tempio, who lives and works in Olbia, confirms from Dubai that there's complete uncertainty about the date and procedure for his return to Sardinia: "They informed us that the first flight has been cancelled. Saturday is being discussed, again with Fly Emirates, but even that date isn't certain." Given what happened , "there's tension, but not the perception of imminent danger. It could have been much worse."
