DAMASCUS, Sept. 22 (Xinhua) -- A total of 188 Syrians, who were stranded in the United Arab Emirates (UAE), returned to Syria on Tuesday, according to the state news agency SANA.
The return of the Syrians is part of the government's efforts to bring back Syrians stranded abroad as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.
In May, the Syrian airlines started organizing trips to bring back Syrians from foreign countries.
In August, the Syrian Ministry of Interior urged the Syrians abroad, who wish to return, to contact the Syrian embassies to come back home. Enditem
