Latest for @dw_chinese - While several countries plan to evacuate more citizens, citizens from Pakistan and Nigeria keep facing an uncertain future in #Wuhan, as their governments "assure" them that #China has the best mechanism to cope with the crisis. dw.com/zh/%E5%A4%9A%E…
@dw_chinese I talked to Pakistani and Nigerian students trapped in #Wuhan since the lockdown, and here are what they told me - Pakistani student Halima told me that since the lockdown in the city, the biggest challenge for them is to leave their rooms and get necessities because most ...
@dw_chinese ... leave far from markets that are open and with the strict rules on transportation, students have to rely on foot to go anywhere they wan to go. Additionally, among more than 2000 Pakistani students trapped in #Wuhan, 4 have contracted #coronavirus.
@dw_chinese And even though the Pakistani government knew about the risk in #Wuhan, they have so far refused to take these students back, citing the concern that they could spread #coronavirus across Pakistan.
@dw_chinese "It’s hard for us to see all of our foreign friends leaving and getting rescued by their countries while we are stuck here desperately," Halima told me. "The government is in delirium not deciding anything at all. We are very worried, and we are disappointed in Islamabad."
@dw_chinese Meanwhile, there are over 50 Nigerians stuck in #Wuhan, and while most of them have no difficulty getting everyday necessities, basic medical supplies are in serious shortage. "The problem is basically medical supplies. We have families with children, so we are very worried."
@dw_chinese "We basically have to walk or ride bicycles anywhere because we try to not use public transportation or vehicles as much as possible because we want to minimize the risk of contracting the virus by using these shared vehicles," the student told me.
@dw_chinese Instead of addressing concerns of their citizens, both Pakistani and Nigerian government insists that they believe #China has the best system and infrastructure to cope with the #coronavirus epidemic and they believe #Beijing's strategies can contain the virus ultimately.
