stuck in Israel for Pesach

Am I the only one finding this ironic?

Yes.
As great as it is to live in EY BH, there are ppl who want to be able to see their family which they haven't seen, possibly in many months.

Of course! I'm no bible thumping "everyone should make aliya " guy. Quite the opposite .I just find it ironic that Yidden are stuck in Eretz Yisroel for pesach. Its irony doesn't lessen the problem.

He didn't see the news coverage of the upcoming Iran attack last week?

You’re preaching to the choir. I guess he didn’t want to cancel their flights over a safek

Could be iran wont attack, and even if they do, could be that there will still be flights.

Why do you think he only sent the youngest ones?

OY! Do they at least have relatives in EY they could go to?
Is there anything us Israeli DDFers can do to help them?

I'm not following the flights thread... But there isn't any fights whatsoever?

A relative of mine, who was supposed to fly on Air Canada today, from Israel - Toronto (which got canceled) found a flight(s) from:
1. Israel - Ethiopia
2. Ethiopia - Athens, Greece
3. Athens, Greece - Montreal
4. Montreal - Toronto

Theres enough canceled flights on "trunk routes" to mess things up greatly. Whats left are multiple stops, and/or high price points. Not always doable expecialy for larger families.
The eastward bound flights are even more chalenging because of the time difference (you can leave EY much closer to shabbos than a flight to EY)

Aha... I don't know the cost of this relatives flight, but I know it was a fortune. Plus it's 2 days travel time...
