After the outbreak of the Middle East war, Google urgently evacuated 1,000 employees in Dubai.

According to sources familiar with the matter, more than 1000 people who were attending a grand Google corporate sales event in Dubai were trapped in the Persian Gulf country when the conflict between the US and Iran broke out last weekend. Google's cloud business division had just concluded its large annual "Accelerate" event in Dubai last Friday, and a few hours later, missiles and drones began to attack. The unexpected closure of airspace resulted in Google employees who had decided to stay over the weekend being stranded. These employees from around the world had to scramble to book seats on sporadic return flights. The sources mentioned that many people were stuck in hotels, waiting for instructions from the local government, presenting a challenge to Google in ensuring the safe return of its employees. One source and another person familiar with the situation stated that Google had arranged for many stranded employees to leave Dubai since last Saturday, and the number of people still stranded has significantly decreased.
