#LauraTingle stuck in #Dubai.

Here in Dubai, you can hear the odd "bang" when one of the incoming projectiles is destroyed in the sky. But over the past couple of days, there have been only 1 or 2 plumes of smoke seen here & there.

The nagging concern here in Dubai is whether there are sufficient supplies of these air defence missiles & systems to maintain that level of defence if Iran continues its relentless campaign. Things could get pretty nasty. #auspol

'Limited flights have started from airports in the Gulf to move some of the estimated hundreds of thousands of people stranded by the closure of airspace on Saturday. That number includes an estimated 100,000 people from the UK, 400,000 from France and 90,000 from Italy. Foreign Minister Penny Wong has said there are more than 24,000 Australians in the region.'

It will take a long time and many aircraft to evacuate so many caught stranded and unprepared. May be more casualties of international civilians.
