Pak sends another plane to ferry stranded nationals from Yemen

Pakistan is sending another plane today to bring back its nationals stranded in strife-torn Yemen, officials said.
It is the second plane being sent after an earlier flight brought back about 500 people on the weekend.
According to an official of Civil Aviation Authority, the aircraft will go Djibouti where about 200 Pakistanis are being taken from Aden through a Chinese ship.
"The flight will return to Karachi tonight with 200 Pakistanis from Djibouti," he said.
Foreign Office spokesperson Tasnim Aslam said the Pakistani nationals were asked to reach Aden from various places in Yemen and they will be evacuated by a Chinese naval ship to Djibouti by this evening.

Pakistan has instructed its ambassador in Ethiopia to personally set up a camp office in Djibouti to receive these Pakistanis, and organise their immigration, stay and return journey.

The Djibouti government also agreed to provide all required support. Pakistan also sent a naval ship to evacuate more Pakistanis from Aden. It is expected to dock in the open sea near Aden tomorrow.
According to officials the situation in Aden was precarious and small boats are used to carry the passengers from the port to the open sea and then boarded on the ships.
There were about 3,000 Pakistanis in Yemen at the start of the conflict and so far about 500 of them have returned home.

Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif has already ordered authorities to safely retrieve all Pakistanis from Yemen.
