Islamabad: Amid escalating violence in Syria, Pakistan’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs has activated its Crisis Management Unit (CMU) to safeguard its citizens. The Pakistani Embassy in Damascus is actively providing support, with citizens advised to avoid unnecessary travel to Syria.
Reports suggest that President Bashar al-Assad’s rule has ended following a rebel offensive, with Damascus now under rebel control. Pakistani nationals in Syria have been urged to remain cautious and stay in contact with the embassy.
Emergency contact numbers have been issued, and measures to relocate individuals to safer locations are underway.
In response to the crisis, the government has intensified diplomatic and operational efforts to ensure the safety of Pakistanis in the conflict zone.
