This photo taken with a mobile phone shows the Mein Schiff 5 (L) in Doha, Qatar, March 6, 2026. The Mein Schiff 5, operated by German-based travel company TUI, completed its sailing on Feb. 28 and was docked at the port of Doha.
Passengers on board were originally scheduled to disembark and catch flights back home. However, due to the closure of airspace across the Gulf, major airlines have canceled flights to and from the region, leaving the passengers stranded on the ship and unable to leave Doha. (Xinhua/Wang Qiang)
