By count total of 118 Nepalis arrived in the capital Kathmandu from Afghanistan via Kuwait, as confirmed by Nepal's Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Xinhua, the intelligence agency too, confirmed the arrival of Nepali citizens on Tuesday. Spokesperson of the Nepali Foreign Ministry, Sewa Lamal said that the Nepali govt had asked for help from various foreign govt having a presence in Afghanistan in bringing out Nepalis.

The Kathmandu Post stated that a total of 118 Nepali citizens who arrived in Nepal on Tuesday were rescued by the Americans. The Nepal govt has said it will take all steps required to bring back its residents from the war-torn country, but officials say they lack the correct count on Nepalis there. The Department of Foreign Employment reports shows that in the last financial year, ending mid-July, 1,073 Nepalis had obtained permits to work in Afghanistan

The Department's statistics show that in the last seven years, more than 8,000 Nepalis have been issued labour permits to Afghanistan. But it is expected that there may be more than 14,000 Nepalis who are stranded in Afghanistan. Despite the higher risk, Nepalis prefer to go to this conflict-ridden country due to high pay, added The Kathmandu Post.  According to Nepal officials, the government has already established communication with most of the foreign missions and UN agencies requesting them for evacuating the Nepalis working with them.
