Last night, a Qatar Airways flight touched down in Sydney from Lebanon, carrying a large number of Australians who were desperate to return home. This was just one of many repatriation flights organized by the airline, as the country continues to struggle with the ongoing conflict and turmoil.
As the returning passengers disembarked, emotions were running high. Many were relieved to be back on home soil, but for others, it was bittersweet as they had to leave loved ones behind. One woman tearfully expressed her conflicting feelings, saying, "I feel a sense of relief, but it's also incredibly hard to say goodbye to my beloved family members."
For one man, the reunion with his younger sister was particularly emotional. "I'm overjoyed to be back and see my sister," he said with tears in his eyes. "I'm her big brother, and as you can see, she's crying too."
Another woman expressed her gratitude to the authorities for arranging the flight, saying, "Qatar brought us back here, and they even upgraded me to first class. I want to thank Mr. Albanese for his efforts."
Meanwhile, Qantas has announced that they will be organizing another repatriation flight on Friday, provided the security situation remains stable. The Australian government has been urging its citizens in Lebanon to take advantage of these flights and return home, given the escalating tensions in the region.
As Israel continues its incursion into Lebanese territory, the situation has become dire. It is estimated that a quarter of the country is now under Israeli military control. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and US President Joe Biden had a phone call last night, their first since August, where they discussed the ongoing crisis.
In response to Iran's recent rocket attack, Israel has once again threatened retaliation, with Netanyahu vowing a "deadly" and "surprising" response. In addition to this, Israel's attacks on Gaza have not ceased, with the military claiming to target Hamas. However, UN representatives have reported that the situation in Gaza has become a wasteland, with thousands of children being separated from their parents.
