Visiting family. Could be the last visit as it becomes more and more dangerous. All is very sad. So much suffering for what? Say no to war! Say yes to peace.
Yall im in Iraq, just got here yesterday. I’m so scared how do we get out?
Absolutely no sympathy for Israel >>>>>>>
Better put senses to airlines, flights not to continue to war areas, It's better to bring the affected people back to their countries.
The US attacking Iran is making situation too dangerous to fly anywhere near the Arabian Peninsula.
