ISLAMABAD: A special flight arranged by the National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA), following directives from Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, successfully evacuated 79 stranded Pakistanis from war-torn Lebanon on Wednesday.
The evacuees arrived at Jinnah International Airport in Karachi, where they were warmly welcomed by Sindh Governor Kamran Tessori, Federal Minister Khalid Maqbool Siddiqui and Sindh’s Industries Minister Jam Ikramullah Dharejo.
In addition to facilitating the safe return of its citizens, the NDMA dispatched a consignment of three tons of essential medicines to Lebanon on the same chartered flight.
