85 South Koreans to arrive back in Seoul following days stranded in storm-hit Saipan
- 5 years ago
Let's start in typhoon-hit Saipan.
85 South Koreans, comprised of pregnant women, children and some elderly people,... are currently on their way back home on 3 different chartered planes, after being stranded on the Western Pacific Island for days due to Wednesday's mega storm.
They were safely moved to Guam by a military transport plane that was dispatched by the South Korean government earlier today.
A second group of 76 similarly vulnerable people arrived in Guam around an hour ago, and they will fly back to Incheon International Airport on a chartered plane early Sunday morning.
For the rest of the over 16-hundred South Korean tourists still stranded on Saipan, chartered planes will be bringing them back later on Sunday.
Until then, they will be staying at nearby hotels, using emergency aid and eating food brought by the rapid response team.
