Variant of Covid, Josephine’s appeal blocked at London airport with three children: “Two of them have serious health problems. Let’s go back”

“I have been trapped here for three days with my three children, one is epileptic and the other in a wheelchair because he is autistic. We can’t stay anymore, children need their medicines and their homes. What angers me the most? The airplanes Alitalia that that same night they left us at the airport and returned to Milan empty ”. Among the many appeals from Italians blocked in London since Sunday, some are particularly dramatic. Josephine Yousseif, half Italian and half Egyptian is one of the many victims of the suspension of flights decided by the government, like most European countries, to limit contagion with the new aggressive variant of Covid that has emerged in the British capital and in the southeastern England. Given his condition, he decided to do a video appeal urgently request a solution to ensure affection and serenity to your children, two of them with serious health problems. He had arrived on Sunday from Milan to pick up his children “with a flight and in the connection zone, we have never left the airport, we have never been in English territory. I’m still in international food service. I only had to resume one flight after two hours. I land at Heathrow and all hell has exploded. The most annoying thing is that the Alitalia planes the same night that they left us at the airport returned to Milan empty ”, he says. “And yesterday all-day flights with Iberia departed and all Spanish citizens were repatriated. But we don’t, ”he says again. All those who present a Spanish passport or can prove that they have a Spanish relative – he says – were shipped to Madrid, we are still here. “I’ve never posted anything, I don’t use social media a lot, but I would do anything to get my kids out of this hell.”
