More than 500 tourists still stuck in Maldives

More than 500 tourists are still stuck in Maldives, Ali Waheed, the country’s tourism minister said.

He said about 100 of those people ended up stranded at the airport. The government is helping people who cannot afford to continue staying in resorts.

“We believe they are like locals, they are the people who have brought this country to where it is now,” Waheed said.
