KATHMANDU, Oct 9: Nepali students currently caught in the midst of the Israel-Palestine conflict have penned a heartfelt letter to Prime Minister Pushpa Kamal Dahal, urgently seeking rescue and repatriation.

Suraj Bhandari, a student from the University of Agriculture and Forestry who traveled to Israel, has drafted a letter addressed to the Prime Minister, requesting him to facilitate their safe return to Nepal.

In the letter, Bhandari describes the harrowing experiences faced by him and fellow students. “We had seen birds flying in the sky; today we are witnessing fighter planes and missiles in the sky. We who would enjoy the bursting of firecrackers in Tihar today find ourselves confronted with the terrifying sounds of gunfire and explosions,” he writes in the letter, expressing profound fear. 

Bhandari emphasizes their trust and hope for the future lies with the Prime Minister and implores, “At this critical juncture, you are our hope and our trust is in you. We do not want to lose our lives in the war between these two countries. Create an environment for us to return to our country; we will be happy in the country.”
