In a touching video shared by authorities, two sisters can be seen tearfully hugging each other as they reunited after 30 years apart.
When fate took its turn, the younger sister remained adamant, and clung to the hope of finding her older sibling. Separated a long time ago, the two siblings came together again with the help of Fujairah Police.
Watch the video here:
Thirty years ago, the older sister married a citizen of the UAE. The younger sister, along with her parents, lived in Egypt. After their father died, the younger sibling along with her mother, moved to another city in Egypt, where the mother passed away.
Around five years after her marriage, when the older sister travelled with her husband to visit her family in Egypt, she was shocked to see an empty house. With no knowledge of their new address, and with no hope, she returned to the Emirates.
The younger sibling refused to give up, and desperate to find her sister, she started for UAE. Immediately after arriving in the airport, she took a taxi to the Fujairah Police Department, and narrated her experience.
Within 5 minutes of hearing the story, authorities tracked the details of the sister's husband and managed to reunite the two. The two women clung to each other, seeming to try and get back the moments lost for the last 30 years.
The two sisters expressed their gratitude to the general leadership of Fujairah Police, a representative of the Dibba Police Department, for their quick reaction and assistance in searching for her sister.
The younger sister emphasised that her confidence in the police forces of the United Arab Emirates made her come to the country, and ask for help to fulfill her wish to see her sister.
Colonel Saif Rashid Al-Zahmi, Director of the Dibba Police Department, also stated that this work is a humanitarian duty. He added that he is proud of the staff for doing reuniting the sisters in a short time.
