New Delhi, Apr 7 (IBNS) India on Monday evacuated about a 1000 more nationals caught in the conflict in Yemen even as requests poured in from other countries for Indian assistance in evacuation of their people, said officials.
 
Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) spokesperson Syed Akbaruddin said there was a surge in evacuation efforts on Monday with 1000 plus evacuated from Yemen, including 574 by 3 Air India flights from Sana'a.

At least 479 were evacuated by INS Mumbai ex Al Hudaydah, he said. 

Syed Akbaruddin said :"Requests for Indian assistance in evacuation from Yemen keeps growing. On last count 26 requests received."

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday praised his officials, departments and organizations for evacuating Indians and non-Indians from war-torn Yemen.

In a series of tweets, Modi has praised his officials as he said: "Salute the services of our civilian & defence officials & organisations in helping evacuate our citizens from Yemen. Continue your efforts!"

He said: "Seamless co-operation between organisations- MEA, Navy, Air Force, Air India, Shipping, Railways & State Govts greatly helped in rescue work. Colleagues @SushmaSwaraj & @Gen_VKSingh (who has been on the ground for days), have co-ordinated evacuation efforts in an exemplary manner."

"I am also glad that India has rescued several non-Indian citizens from Yemen," he said.

Consequent upon the Government of India issuing an advisory for Indian nationals to leave Yemen, the Indian Air Force(IAF) has deployed heavy transport aircraft with alacrity,  in support of evacuation operations.
