Bahrain blasts Qatar over stranded nationals | AW staff

On March 28, Qatar's Government Communications Office announced that Bahrain had rejected a Qatari offer to "fly the Bahraini citizens on a private charter flight to Bahrain at no cost to the individuals or the government of Bahrain.". According to Qatari officials, the Bahraini nationals had arrived in Doha from Iran on March 27, and they could not return to their country as there were no direct flights between Qatar and Bahrain.. Bahrain is part of an Arab quartet of countries that severed ties with Qatar in 2017..
