"It felt like war was just around the corner." A Stranded Hong Kong Resident in Dubai Recounted His Harrowing Experience
Tensions in the Middle East have escalated dramatically, with the conflict reaching Dubai. Edward, a Hong Kong resident originally scheduled to return to Hong Kong on March 3rd, is now stranded in Dubai due to the US-Iran conflict. He recounted his harrowing experience in an interview with Bastille Post, describing how on February 28th—the first day of the official outbreak of hostilities—the sky lit up with flashes of fire as he stepped out of a restaurant, immediately followed by a long missile alert on his mobile phone. "At that moment, I truly felt that war was just around the corner," he said.
