Emma claimed that British Airways told her to go to the bombed Dubai airport to seek help with accommodation, which is costing her £350 a day.

This can’t be paid for by her insurance because they don’t cover ‘war’, she added.

The mum said the British Embassy told her to ‘stay inside’ and ask local charities to help with funding.

Calling on the government to do more to help Brits, the learning support assistant, from Middlesborough said: ‘British Airways and the government have 100% failed their own.

‘The airline told me the only way they can help with accommodation is if I go to the airport and speak to ground staff.

‘I said, “is that a joke?”, the airport has been bombed twice.

…oh, I think I must have been reading a different bit there…we have friends who work/live in Dubai and the one thing that they’re screaming at us is not to read the UK media as it’s such an inaccurate source of anything…I guess this is what was said in the thread above that is conflicted in that the Dubai government are covering all extra accommodation/expenses etc so I’m not sure whether that’s not being realised by people or…I’m just being very selective in receiving information of the terrifying situation because I fear that it can be quite selective, which only enhances fears and worries…
