Australian Government Launches Bus Shuttles from Doha to Riyadh for Stranded Citizens

The Australian government is providing bus shuttles from Doha, Qatar to Riyadh, Saudi Arabia to assist citizens stranded in the Middle East amidst the ongoing conflict. These shuttles cover approximately 600 kilometers and take around 6.5 hours, with basic accommodation provided in Riyadh for transfers to commercial flights. Officials are also considering similar transfers from Kuwait after safety checks. Overnight, four repatriation flights brought home 516 Australians, bringing the total returned since the conflict began to 1324. Airlines like Qatar Airways and Emirates are restarting limited evacuation schedules, prioritizing families, the elderly, and those with medical needs.
