Aryal said Nepali diplomatic missions have been directed to make necessary arrangements to assist affected citizens. These include the Nepali embassies in Riyadh, Abu Dhabi, Tel Aviv, Manama, Muscat, Islamabad and Cairo, as well as the Nepali consulates general in Jeddah and Dubai.
The decision comes amid rising tensions in the Middle East that have disrupted flights and left many Nepalis facing difficulties while traveling or staying in the region, the government said.
