As per a report by The Peninsula, around 23 Qatar-based Indian medical students in Ukraine’s Kharkiv University have been staying in bunkers for the last four nights as fierce fighting between the Russian and Ukrainian forces continues.
Doha residents Aysha Saibool, mother of Dua Khadeeja, a first-year medical student at the V N Karazin Kharkiv National University, and Nusrath Shamseer, whose daughter Fathima Sharbeen is also stranded in the hostel bunker in Kharkiv University, said they are worried about the situation.
According to The Peninsula, the parents of Doha-based students have been sharing the latest developments through their WhatsApp group, and they’ve requested the Indian authorities to quickly make arrangements to bring back their children safely.
Disturbing accounts by Indian students stranded in Ukraine are also circulating on social media with some complaining that they were beaten up by Ukrainian forces and were being kept from leaving the country, added the report.
