Indian Businessman In Dubai Opens 64 Apartments For Stranded Indians Amid Middle East Crisis
Amid rising tensions in the Middle East, an Indian businessman in Dubai has stepped forward to help fellow Indians stranded in the region due to travel disruptions and growing uncertainty.
Yogesh Doshi, an Indian-origin businessman based in the UAE, has opened his entire 64-apartment residential building in Dubai to stranded Indian nationals, offering them temporary accommodation free of cost.
The initiative, coordinated with the Indian People’s Forum UAE and the Consulate General of India in Dubai, has already provided shelter to more than 125 Indians, including several families with children.
The apartments are equipped with basic facilities and free food, ensuring those affected have a safe place to stay during the ongoing crisis.
Some of the stranded travellers described the support as a lifeline. Mohit Vachhani and fellow travellers Riya Makadia, Paras Bhalodia and Grishma Bhalodia said their hotel bookings had expired and they were unable to extend them due to the uncertainty in the region.
They added that frequent security alerts about the escalating situation had increased their anxiety, making the accommodation arrangement a huge relief.
Farmhouse Shelter In Ajman
Another humanitarian effort has emerged nearby in Ajman, where UAE-based businessman Dhiraj Jain converted his large farmhouse into a shelter for stranded travellers.
The facility provides free lodging and meals to people who are unable to return home and have run out of accommodation or funds.
To assist with transportation, Jain has deployed 11 vehicles — including six Rolls-Royce cars — to pick up stranded passengers from hotels and other locations and bring them safely to the farmhouse.
The crisis began after joint military strikes by the United States and Israel on Iran on February 28, triggering a wider regional conflict and disrupting travel across parts of the Middle East.
As uncertainty continues, community-led initiatives like these have become crucial in helping stranded Indians cope with the situation until normal travel operations resume.
