One Pakistani national has been confirmed dead in the latest heavy rains that resulted in massive floods in the northern and eastern emirates of the UAE.
Hassan Afzal Khan, Consul-General at Pakistan Consulate, Dubai, on Saturday confirmed the death of a Pakistani in the aftermath of recent floods.
Khan told Khaleej Times that Pakistani missions in Dubai and Abu Dhabi are in touch with the authorities in Fujairah and Abu Dhabi to find out details of any other Pakistani casualties in the floods.
“Pakistani Embassy in Abu Dhabi and Pakistan Consulate, Dubai, are coordinating with the police and other government bodies to ascertain more details,” Khan said, adding that more details will be provided in due course.
The UAE’s Ministry of Interior on Friday said seven people of Asian descent were confirmed dead in the wake of recent floods in the country.
“We regret to inform you that six people of Asian nationalities have been found dead due to the floods in the Emirates,” Brigadier General Dr Ali Salem Al Tunaiji, director-general of the Ministry of Interior Federal Central Operations, said earlier.
Later, another Asian’s dead body was found after an extensive search.
“The Ministry of Interior offers its condolences to the families of the victims,” he added.
