Thousands of Canadians stranded in the Middle East amid escalating tensions, with the federal government orchestrating charter flights and block bookings from Dubai and Beirut. Ottawa resident Ali Dhaif, stuck in Baghdad since his January wedding, anxiously awaits reunification with family. Officials explore all options, from ground transport to commercial flights, while avoiding risky sea routes. A group recently returned from Dubai, and Dhaif plans to drive to the Turkish border, aiming to fly out via Jordan around March twelfth if the situation improves.
