An Indian student stranded in Belfast for three months by Covid-19 travel restrictions was finally able to fly home this week.
Shivanghi Yadev, a medical student from Delhi, was due to leave the UK on March 21, just days after the Indian government closed its borders - even to its own citizens.
The country has since begun the biggest repatriation operation in its history.
But the two month delay could set back Shivanghi's graduation by a whole year.
And she's had to watch from afar as her peers join the country's coronavirus response.
Shivanghi said: "Obviously there is financial stress and academic stress.
"I wish I was back there to be a little help to the community there and I’m stuck here so it is frustrating.
"My friends who were in the same class have been interning - they are in the hospitals helping and working."
Shivanghi is the second Indian national to be repatriated with the help of Northern Ireland's Indian Community Centre.
Last week, a woman visiting her children here was flown home to be with her husband, who was alone and unwell.
The centre's chair Dr Satyavir Singhal said about a dozen Indian nationals are waiting to return home.
Meanwhile they are being supported by NI's Indian community.
Dr Satyavir Singhal: "If anybody has a problem liaising with the High Commission and they want to discuss their problems, or some mental support, if they have a medical condition and they want to see a doctor we can organise that."
Shivangi has been living with a local family, and she and other students have been offered free meals from Taaj Restaurant in Magherafelt.
She added said: "At first I was really sad about it but I was staying here with an Indian family and they helped me a lot through everything.
"It made me feel like I was home even if I’m not home."
