The medical evacuation of former Bangladesh Prime Minister Khaleda Zia to London has been postponed for the third time after the German air ambulance arranged by Qatar canceled its landing slot in Dhaka. The 80-year-old BNP chairperson, who has been hospitalized since November with multiple ailments, remains too unwell for the long-haul journey according to her medical team.
