Restrictions on Qatar to continue

The foreign ministers of Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Egypt and Bahrain, meeting in Cairo, have said restrictions on Qatar will continue.


According to euronews.com, the four Arab states have issued an ultimatum to the Gulf nation, which they accuse of supporting jihadi groups.


They have called for major changes in its policies, a demand that Qatar has rejected.


For several weeks Qatar has been blockaded and its only land border closed, meaning that food and supplies are having to be shipped or flown in to meet the basic needs of its 2,7 million population.
