The Pakistani government is trying tooth and nail to resolve the crisis of COVID-19. There is a lockdown in the country and the businesses are at a standstill. Not only Pakistanis in the country but those residing abroad are facing a crisis. But the PTI-led government seems to be helping Pakistanis even abroad.
A Pakistani man, working and residing in Dubai, shared a video on social media to show how the Pakistani government was looking after them, and he is surprised.

The viral video is about how the Pakistani Embassy Dubai is providing rations to Pakistanis living in Dubai. The guy in the video narrated how they got one bag from the embassy.
“The Pakistani Embassy in Dubai is providing one ration bag to one person which includes sanitizer, milk, wheat, grains, rice, and oil, etc,” he said.

Prime minister Imran Khan has already made it clear that he is against a complete lockdown in the country as people will suffer. Therefore, he has also made a tiger force and launched Prime Minister’s COVID-19 Pandemic Relief Fund-2020. PM’s tiger force will help provide rations to daily wagers and those affected economically by the pandemic.
“I want our youth to play their role in helping our fight against the COVID 19 by joining our Corona Tiger Force which will be organized to do jihad against the suffering caused by this pandemic”, PM Imran had said in a message on Twitter.
In the subcontinent, with a high rate of poverty, we are faced with the stark choice of having to balance between a lockdown necessary to slow down/prevent the spread of COVID19 & ensuring people don’t die of hunger & our economy doesn’t collapse. So we are walking a tightrope.
