Egypt mourns flight attendant killed in Houthi attack on Riyadh airport

In a tragic incident days before her wedding, 28-year-old Egyptian flight attendant Azza Ramzi lost her life at King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh during a Houthi attack. Ramzi, who worked for Saudi carrier flynas, succumbed to severe injuries while performing her duties. Her death has left her hometown in Egypt's Beheira governorate, particularly the Al-Atf area where her family resides, in shock and grief.

Reports suggest Ramzi was preparing to journey back to Egypt for her wedding, scheduled to occur within days. Her untimely demise has evoked an outpouring of sympathy and tributes on social media, with residents mourning the loss of a life snuffed out just before what was intended to be one of its most joyous occasions. The attack at the airport claimed the lives of 12 people, including Ramzi, and left 309 others injured, as confirmed by Saudi Arabia's General Authority of Civil Aviation (GACA).

The victims included four Saudi citizens, two Bangladeshis, and one individual each from Egypt, the United States, Jordan, Syria, Palestine, and Sudan.
