From AP article:

pasted from the end of the article:
"Germany’s Foreign Ministry said about 30,000 German tourists were stranded across the Middle East. The government said it plans to send aircraft to Oman and Saudi Arabia to evacuate ill travelers, children and pregnant people, while working with airlines to assist others where possible.

The Czech Republic said it was sending planes to Egypt, Jordan and Oman to bring home citizens from Israel and surrounding countries. Britain said it was preparing for various options, including a possible evacuation, as more than 102,000 people have registered their presence in the region."
