Qatar has welcomed the decision of Bahrain to allow its citizens who were transiting through Doha from Iran to
return home.
In a statement on Sunday, the Government Communications Office (GCO) said Qatar wished that Bahrain had accepted Doha’s offer to fly the Bahraini citizens home on a private charter flight, instead of prolonging their waiting time.
The statement said Qatar stands ready to play its humanitarian role during this global crisis.
It is unfortunate that Bahrain has launched allegations, false accusations and politised the humanitarian situation of its citizens attempting to transit home.
Allowing them to return home , as requested by the State of Qatar to the relevant authorities in the Kingdom of Bahrain, is a step in the right direction, the statement noted.
“As the health and safety of these Bahraini citizens is paramount at this time , the Ministry of Public Health in Qatar will communicate with its counterpart in Bahrain to inform them of the results of the coronavirus tests that have been conducted,” the GCO said.
Qatar wishes the Bahraini citizens good health and safety, it added.
