19 Indian Seafarers Stranded In Yemen For 2 Weeks Evacuated And Heading Home
Nineteen Indian seafarers stranded in Yemen's Hodeidah and Sana'a for about two weeks have been evacuated and are heading home, the Indian Embassy said.
Around two weeks after they got stranded in Yemen, 19 Indian seafarers have been evacuated and are heading back to India, the Indian Embassy in Yemen said on November 8, 2026.
The seafarers had been caught up in Hodeidah and Sana’a, two cities in Yemen.
In a post on X, the embassy said that all of them are safe and healthy, and thanked everyone who supported the evacuation.
The development follows India’s confirmation, days earlier, that 14 Indian nationals on a yacht, which had been caught in an incident near Yemen’s coast, were safe. However, whether these 14 are among the 19 is not clear.
