Around 200 Italian tourists, including families, elderly, and even cancer patients, are stranded at Madeira's Funchal Airport after Wizzair canceled their flight due to adverse weather conditions.

Despite other airlines operating with delays, Wizzair has not rescheduled the flight until August 29, leaving passengers without accommodation or adequate support.

Social media platforms have become a lifeline for these tourists, who are appealing for help as they endure long waits and insufficient meal vouchers.

The Italian government has intervened, urging Wizzair to expedite a rescue flight.

Meanwhile, a Wizzair plane from Budapest has landed in Madeira, potentially offering a glimmer of hope for the stranded passengers.
