The top model Minh Tu has been working in Oman with her husband since February 22.

The model Kha My Van, currently residing in Dubai but traveling in Italy, is stuck in Europe and unable to return home. She considers herself lucky to be safe, but reports of shaking building windows in Dubai and many people fleeing the area have caused significant concern.
The escalating conflict between the American-Israeli coalition and Iran since February 28 has led to the closure of airspace over many Middle Eastern countries, resulting in the indefinite closure of major airports and leaving hundreds of thousands of passengers stranded.

The model later posted a video filmed from her hotel room balcony, showing missiles and explosions. Golan mentioned feeling exhausted.
Singer Huyen Trang and her husband, Chinese actor Li Mao, appealed to internet users for help after being stuck in Dubai. The couple was on vacation and their return flight scheduled for the morning of March 1 was canceled.

On Weibo, Li Mao expressed that it was the first time he had felt “smoke and war fire so close.” His only wish now is to return home and pray for his family’s safety.
