Embassy of Pakistan in Abu Dhabi has activated a 24-hour emergency helpline for Pakistani citizens living in the United Arab Emirates. The move comes as regional tensions continue to rise involving Iran, Israel, and the United States.
According to reports, the Embassy issued an advisory urging Pakistani nationals to stay connected with diplomatic authorities. Citizens were advised to immediately contact the helpline if they face any difficulties.
Officials said the step was taken to ensure quick assistance for the Pakistani community across the UAE. The Embassy has shared several emergency contact numbers to help nationals reach officials without delay.
The advisory also encourages Pakistani residents to remain cautious and stay informed about the evolving situation in the region. Authorities said maintaining communication with diplomatic missions is important during uncertain circumstances.
Alongside the efforts of the Abu Dhabi Embassy, the Consulate General of Pakistan in Dubai has also activated emergency support services. The consulate released separate helpline numbers for Pakistanis living in Dubai and nearby areas.
Officials from the diplomatic mission have appealed to the community to contact consular representatives if they require help. They emphasized that assistance will be provided through the available emergency channels.
The Embassy has also asked Pakistani nationals who are currently stranded at airports to share their details. Some travelers have faced delays or disruptions due to the ongoing regional developments.
According to the advisory, individuals stuck in transit must fill out a special online form. The information will help the Embassy coordinate with airlines and local authorities to provide support.
Officials clarified that Pakistani residents who are already living in the UAE do not need to fill out the emergency transit form. Instead, they have been asked to complete a general community survey.
Diplomatic staff explained that the collected information will help them understand the needs of Pakistani citizens in the UAE. This will allow the Embassy to respond quickly if any assistance becomes necessary.
The advisory highlights the importance of preparedness and communication during periods of regional uncertainty. Authorities continue to monitor developments closely while offering support to the Pakistani community.
