An Emirati couple injured in the Prague shooting will be flown to Munich to get additional medical care.

An Emirati couple, Ahmed Ibrahim Obaid Ali Al Ali and Rowdah Al Mehrezi, who were victims of a gunman in Prague, are set to be airlifted to Munich for further medical treatment by the end of this week. The couple, on vacation with their two daughters, was caught in a mass shooting incident at the Charles University campus on December 21. Mr. Al Ali was shot in the shoulder and collarbone, while Ms. Al Mehrezi, in an attempt to protect their daughters, was shot twice, sustaining injuries to her liver, intestine, and lungs.

Despite initial concerns about her survival, Ms. Al Mehrezi is now stable and able to speak. Both she and her husband remain in intensive care as they prepare for transfer to Munich. Mr. Al Ali serves as the director general of Umm Al Quwain municipality, while Ms. Al Mehrizi is the director of marketing and corporate communication at Dubai's Road and Transport Authority.

The couple's children were flown back to the UAE immediately after the shooting, with representatives from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs providing ongoing support. The UAE leadership has expressed gratitude for the Czech Republic's treatment of the Emirati couple, with Sheikh Abdullah bin Zayed, Minister of Foreign Affairs, condemning the shooting and wishing a speedy recovery to other injured victims. The gunman, 24-year-old David Kozak, was a student with no criminal record or known links to terrorism, and his motive remains unclear. Czech police eliminated him on the day of the attack, marking it as the worst mass shooting in Czech history.
