The Foreign Ministry said a Qatar Airways flight carrying 119 South Koreans from Dar es Salaam, Tanzania is set to arrive at Incheon International Airport on Friday after passing through Doha. 

The evacuation flight, which was organized by the South Korean Embassy in Tanzania, is also carrying 70 passengers from eight other countries, including Japan, Canada, Britain and China. These passengers are set to disembark at Doha to get to their final destinations.
