A Russian traveler named Anna and her daughter, who has Ikardi syndrome, were detained at Istanbul Airport for three days without food or water, according to reports from both Russian news sites.

The family missed a connecting flight to Barcelona after a five‑hour wait; the flight was delayed because of weather and technical problems, and they spent ten hours on a broken Pegasus Airlines aircraft before being stuck for a total of ten hours, receiving only a single loaf of bread from the airline while emergency services were called twice and the mother had to stretch her daughter's medication until they could reach Spain.
