These parents told the daily this situation threatens family reunification saying requests have been submitted to the concerned authorities to exclude newborns from the decision, especially since most of the applicants are teachers and are waiting to return to Kuwait before next Monday. Dozens of expatriates have called on the Ministry of Interior to look at the issue from the humanitarian point of view.
