Pakistan issues emergency helplines for citizens across Gulf states

Pakistan’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs has activated its Crisis Management Unit (CMU) to monitor the evolving regional security situation and to assist Pakistani nationals in the Gulf region.

The Foreign Office urged Pakistanis living in Gulf states to stay cautious, remain indoors where possible, avoid non-essential travel, and follow advisories issued by host governments.

The CMU will operate around the clock. Pakistanis seeking information or emergency support can call the CMU at +92-51-9207887.
