The Dubai Police reunited a mother with her son, who had been separated from her for over 15 years at the transit hall of the Dubai International Airport, as he was heading to India. Brig. Gen. Hamouda Bal Suwaida Al Amiri, Acting Director of the General Department of Airport Security, said that an Arab mother sought help from the General Department, asking them to allow her to meet her son, who was transiting at Dubai International Airport on his way to receive treatment in India.

The mother had not met her son for more than 15 years due to circumstances, so she asked the Dubai Police to help her meet and talk to him after a long separation, Al Amiri added. The police responded to the mother's request and searched for her son in the "transit" area at Dubai International Airport Terminal 2.

The teams were able to identify and find him through an old photo and he was reunited with his mother who was waiting for him. The mother expressed her great happiness and gratitude for the cooperation and immediate response of Dubai Police.
