Several Norwegian-Pakistani families are in despair because they do not come home after vacation in Pakistan. A number of aircraft are canceled. Norwegian-Pakistani Rabiha Iqbal is with the family in a small village outside the city of Kharian to the north of Pakistan. It is not far from the border with India. – It’s been very tough. It is so uncertain here, Rabiha tells news. She is in Pakistan with her husband and their three young children in nine years, three years and the minest daughter of 15 months. Now they are despairing because they do not get home. Rabiha Iqbal with her husband, Ali Bashir and their youngest daughter in front of the Faisal Mosque in Islamabad May 2.

Then India attacked neighboring Pakistan, including missiles. – He cried and said: Now we are bombed and then we die. He thought we were going to die, like the children in Gaza, says Rabiha. Pakistan responded with artillery attacks, and it is the worst fighting actions of at least 20 years between the two countries. The family was to return home on Thursday, but the plane was canceled because of the conflict. – No life losing Rabiha, who is in Pakistan, tells of an attack on Friday night. They heard loud noises and looked light in the sky. In addition, there should have been an attack about 40 kilometers away as they noticed. The family is located just outside the city of Kharian north of Pakistan not far from the border with India. For the sister, Smaira Iqbal, which is in Norway, the development is almost unbearable. – I am very worried about how it will develop during the night. There are dramatic changes from minute to minute, says the sister who is in Norway. – We have no life to lose, she says. Smaira Iqbal (left) is in Norway.

The escalation is referred to as very serious, since there are two nuclear powers that are in military conflict. Residents of the border areas are now hoarding food and other necessity products, writes Reuters news agency. Many families also flee to safer areas.

They think they are very long and want the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to help them home. They have also been in contact with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. – We hope we get back earlier, says Rabiha. Tanks are transported to the border just off the big city of Lahore in Pakistan.

They also discourage travel within ten kilometers from the border between the two countries. The Ministry describes the situation in the border area as unclear and vulnerable. The Foreign Ministry tells news that they have not received many inquiries from people about assistance to return home. “We are aware that there are some cancellations both foreign and domestic, but there are more aircraft, including from Islamabad airport to nearby countries,” says Andreas Bj\u00f8rklund press spokesman. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has encouraged travelers to contact their airline. – We sent a message this week to Norwegian citizens in Pakistan, where we advised them to be vigilant, and listen to the advice of local authorities, says Bj\u00f8rklund.
