Watch: Students from Bangladesh and Jordan are being evacuated from Wuhan, A Pakistani student filmed their departure saying, “They are lucky that their governments are taking them home.”
Pakistan’s Ambassador to China Naghmana Hashmi also said that Pakistani students should not be evacuated from the virus-hit Wuhan city because Pakistani medical facilities do not meet the standards required to treat a patient diagnosed with coronavirus.
