Travellers ‘sleeping on floor and missing medication’ amid Dubai airport chaos

Dubai Airport is suffering travel disruption because of floods in UAE.

A Dublin woman and her 69-year-old father have been left “exhausted” and without access to his medication after being forced to sleep in a Dubai airport when their flight home was cancelled.

People are experiencing travel disruption because of the unprecedented floods in Dubai – by the end of Tuesday, more than 14cm (5.59 inches) of rain had soaked Dubai over 24 hours.
