On Tuesday evening, Nasim, 22, who was flying aboard Emirates Airlines from Jeddah to Islamabad gave birth to one of the twin girls on board the aircraft in Dubai, when the plane was in transit, and was then taken to Al Wasl Hospital after it was discovered by airport clinic doctors that another baby was on the way.

“I have to pay some Dh5,000 as hospital charges. I have no money with me. Besides, I do not know who will help me to get passports for my babies,” she told Khaleej Times.

Mohammed Waseem, welfare officer at the Pakistan Consulate, said the consulate would look into the case.
