Pakistan has dispatched a jumbo jet and a naval frigate to bring back in phases its more than 3,000 stranded citizens, including women and children, who have been caught in the raging conflict in Yemen. A Pakistan Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) official on Sunday confirmed the start of operations to evacuate Pakistanis. “Another flight was going later on Sunday and the flights will continue until all Pakistanis are evacuated from Yemen,” he said, even as the Government is still considering a Saudi request on whether to send troops to join the military campaign in strife-torn Yemen. He said that the first flight of Boeing-747 is expected to evacuate 504 stranded people from Yemen’s Al-Hudaydah city and it will fly back as soon as the security clearance is issued by the Saudi authorities.
