As many as 700 Yemeni people moved from Egypt to Saudi Arabia Thursday on board four flights en route to Yemen via border, the head of Yemeni Airways in Cairo said.

The flights took off from Cairo International Airport to Saudi Bisha Airport, Khalid el Naimi said.

They would moved to Hadhramaut via Saudi-Yemeni border crossing, he added.

On Friday, two flights will leave to the Saudi Airport with 300 Yemenis on board, he added.
