Saudi-UAE rift leaves 600 tourists stranded on remote Yemeni island

But now, it's becoming a problem for all of us because we must go back to work, and it will cause a lot of problems to all of us because we have activities, we have jobs that we cannot go back to,” said Italian tourist Tiziana Casonato.
