Hundreds of Egyptians workers in Qatar are unable to go home following Egypt’s refusal to receive a flight sent by Qatar.
In response to an Al Jazeera inquiry about Egyptian workers in Qatar, an official source in Qatar’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs said Qatar had offered to fly the workers out to Egypt on a hired Spanish flight. But Cairo said it wouldn't receiving it citing its ban on all incoming flights to the Cairo Airport due to special measures to combat the spread of the coronavirus pandemic, he added. Qatari authorities chartered the  flight last Friday, but it never took off.
It should be noted that hundreds of stranded Egyptian workers have appealed to competent authorities in Doha and Cairo to enable their return to their homeland.
