An Irish girl is stuck in Dubai and is struggling to get home with Emirates Airlines.
Leah O’Shea tweeted yesterday that she is unable to get home on a stretcher as Emirates Airlines have so far refused to help her out.

Scores of Leah’s friends have rallied around and started tweeting Emirates to somehow get her back to her family in Ireland, so far to no avail.
@emirates @Leahosxx has a heart of Gold 💛She does not deserve this treatment, let's get her home to her Family in Ireland ASAP. #GetLeahHome

Friends started tweeting Irish government officials after Leah posted earlier today that she was still stuck on a stretcher and failing to get through to an Emirate Airlines helpline.
