Islamabad: Family members of Pakistanis trapped in strife torn Egypt are much worried over lack of arrangements on the part of government for their evacuation.
However Foreign Office (FO) spokesman Abdul Basit said two special flights would be sent within 24 hours to bring back diplomatic staff and Pakistan nationals from Egypt.
Therefore, a large number of Pakistanis have been stranded and they have not succeeded to return home despite their all out efforts.
The family members of these Pakistani nationals were of the view that Pakistan embassy in Egypt was not cooperating with them.
They have demanded of the government to make special arrangements for evacuation of their near and dear ones rather than relying on national airlines.
A statement issued by ministry of foreign affairs said special plane would reach Cairo during relaxation of curfew hours to bring back the trapped Pakistanis. Pakistan embassy is making arrangements in collaboration with Egyptian authority to evacuate Pakistanis.
On the other side foreign ministry is in contact with PIA on this matter and PIA flights will leave for Egypt within 24 hours and all the expenses in this respect will be borne by ministry of foreign affairs.
Pakistan ambassador in Egypt, Seema Naqvi said that all Pakistanis in Egypt were safe but they could face food problem in case the protest would prolong.
