Additionally, the Pakistani Consul General in the US and Deputy Prime Minister Ishaq Dar have offered their support. Deputy Prime Minister Dar has extended an offer to assist Dania’s family with travel arrangements to the US, enabling them to be by her side during her recovery.
This outpouring of support from individuals and organizations highlights the strong sense of community and solidarity between Pakistan and the international community during this challenging time.
