Big Island teacher's flight home delayed

Advertiser Staff

Big Island Kamehameha Schools teacher Sarah Ahmadia was scheduled to arrive in Hilo tonight from the Middle East but her flight has been delayed until tomorrow.

Ahmadia was in Lebanon on vacation getting to know her father's family when Israel started bombing that country.

She was evacuated by the U.S. Embassy to Cyprus, where she awaits her plane ride home.
