Leaving Dubai after calling it home for 30 years

CNN’s Erin Burnett reports on one woman’s emotional decision to leave Dubai as the Iran conflict continues to unfold. Clarification: When this video was first posted it did not state that Kim Kelaita is currently a contractor working for CNN. We regret this oversight. The video captures Kelaita’s personal experience as a longtime resident of Dubai leaving her home as the Iran war escalated. It does not contain any journalistic discussion or opinion about the war itself.
