REFERENCE the news report about the pathetic plight of an aged Pakistani couple trapped in war-torn Syria.
The elderly couple are 72-year-old Muhammad Fadel Akram and his 62-year-old wife, Sugran Bibi. They are trapped in the rebel-held province of East Ghouta, a suburb of the capital, Damascus.
I would like to add my voice to those appealing to the Pakistan authorities to assist this couple and evacuate them to a place of safety.

The plight of the Pakistani couple starving to death in East Ghouta -- only a few kilometres away from Damascus --
is now highlighted in Dawn as well.
Pakistani authorities need to do everything that they can to bring them home.
