South Africa has allowed 153 Palestinian passengers to leave a chartered plane after being held on board for nearly 12 hours at OR Tambo International Airport. Authorities initially denied entry because the passengers’ passports lacked departure stamps and they had not provided accommodation details.
The threat of a fuel shortage for aircraft arose at South Africa's largest international airport, OR Tambo, located near Johannesburg, due to a fire at the Natref oil refinery on January 4.
