SHARJAH: Under the directions of Ambassador of Pakistan to the United Arab Emirates Faisal Niaz Tirmizi, an official team of the Welfare Wing of the Consulate General, Dubai headed by Community Welfare Attaché Imran Shahid visited Al Qassimi Hospital Sharjah Friday morning to inquire about Pakistani survivors of a fire incident.
A Pakistani father and his daughter died in the deadly incident on Thursday.
The team held detailed meeting with the Hospital’s management including Hamdan and Abdullah and also met the doctors treating the tragic incident’s survivors.
The survivors include wife of the deceased, Fatima Imran Khan and two children Asma Imran Khan (about 9) and Ahmed Imran Khan (about 6).
The visiting team requested the concerned authorities in the Hospital, forensics, and police departments to expedite issuing the requisite medical reports enabling issuance of death notifications at the earliest. The family hailing from Lahore wanted to take the dead bodies to Pakistan for burial.
Full support for Sharjah fire incident survivors
Zaheer, the brother-in-law of deceased Imran Khan and other relatives of the bereaved family were assured of full support and cooperation by the Consulate General in this difficult and testing time.
The doctors apprised that the children were expected to be discharged on Friday and would be handed over to the Child Protection Department, Sharjah which would subsequently hand them over to their relatives after fulfilling formalities in consultation with the Consulate.
However, mother of the children Fatima Imran Khan was still unconscious with her carbon monoxide level getting normal but the doctors were not sure about her recovery time.
Assuring them of all needed facilitation and help, the official team briefed the relatives of the family on relevant procedures in detail.
