In a heart-wrenching incident, a 14-year-old boy in the Maldives succumbed to illness after President Mohammed Muizzu allegedly denied approval for the use of an Indian-provided Dornier aircraft for his airlift. Suffering from a brain tumor and stroke, the boy's family urgently sought an air ambulance to transport him from Gaaf Alif Villingili to Male. The family claims authorities failed to arrange prompt medical evacuation, resulting in a 16-hour delay. Diplomatic tensions between India and the Maldives add a somber backdrop to the tragedy, with MP Meekail Naseem expressing concerns over lives being jeopardized for political reasons.
