His Highness Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi and Deputy Supreme Commander of the UAE Armed Forces, has ordered to facilitate treatment for Omani artist Abdullah Al Meqbali. He asked the authorities to take him in a private plane to Bangkok, Thailand for his treatment. The 32-year-old artist is suffering from stomach tumour. Local media reported that a video was posted on social media showing the artist getting on the Bangkok-bound private plane.
Early in November, Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed had ordered for Al Meqbali's treatment "in any place in the world", after the artist posted a video in which he broke down, while his illness made him stay in the Canadian Hospital in Dubai.
