stuck in the Middle East to call for help. The message apparently tells them they are on their own.

I am ashamed to be an American.

That's a lot of people to get out with commercial flights. Are they even still running at full capacity?

Who knows how many millions of other nationalities?

And how many millions of Middle Eastern people? They can't hop on a flight.

Edited to add, per BBC:
Thousands of flights have been cancelled across the region, according to flight tracking service Flightradar24, with hundreds of thousands of passengers affected.
