The first group of Chinese evacuees from Yemen has returned home.
Just over 100 Chinese nationals have arrived in Beijing on an Ethiopian Airlines flight from Addis Ababa.
"Yemen is in chaos now. There are constant gunshots in the daytime in the city of Aden. Residents can neither go out nor work. All stores are closed, and our work was seriously affected. I will summarize our work in Yemen after returning home and see if we can go back to our project after the situation improves"
Chinese authorities worked with officials from Ethiopia to accommodate the large influx of Chinese passengers.
Around 570 Chinese nationals were moved out of Yemen this week to Djibouti by three Chinese naval vessels.
Only around 20 Chinese citizens have decided to stay behind in Yemen amid the massive fighting there.
