'Two Bangladeshis trapped in Yemen safe'
Dhaka: Two Bangladeshi, got stuck in separate hotels in Yemen, are ‘safe’ and they are ‘not worried’ about their safety, said an official at Bangladesh Embassy in Kuwait.
‘They’re safe and sound,’ Counsellor SM Mahbubul Alam told UNB through viber communication.
He said they are in touch with the two Bangladeshi through email and telephone communications and with their relatives in Bangladesh too.
Golam Mostafa, 60, a civil engineer, and Mohammad Sirajul Haque got stuck at hotels due to strikes by allied forces on Houthi rebels there.
Asked whether they will be brought back to Kuwait or Bangladesh, the official said they are trying to identify how many Bangladeshis are living there.
Golam Mostafa reportedly emailed to a leading daily saying they got stuck in hotels and appealed for rescuing them.
Mostafa’s relatives urged the government to take initiatives to bring back him.
There is no Bangladesh Embassy in Yemen.
The Saudi-led coalition has been carrying out military action in Yemen for the last few days, to combat Shia Houthi rebels.
