Egypt to repatriate citizens stranded in UAE

Other things we’re keeping an eye on this morning:

• Egypt is arranging for the return of Egyptians stranded in the UAE to Cairo due to their inability to travel back to Saudi Arabia, which suspended flights with the UAE last week. Some 1.26k Egyptians have so far asked to return home.
• EgyptAir resumed direct flights between Cairo and Düsseldorf on 2 July. The airline is operating three flights per week, running on Tuesdays, Fridays, and Sundays.
