Prothomalo
A senior official of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs said that, on the instructions of the Emir of Qatar, the air ambulance is being sent to take Khaleda Zia to London. However, the exact departure time of the air ambulance from Dhaka to London will be finalised after discussion with her physicians and BNP leaders.
Multiple diplomatic sources said that the number of people accompanying Khaleda Zia on the air ambulance from Dhaka to London will be limited. Initially, BNP had listed 18 people, and a few of them will be given priority to travel with Khaleda Zia on the air ambulance, while the remaining members will travel by commercial flight.
Khaleda Zia has been receiving treatment at Evercare Hospital in the capital for nearly two weeks. BNP leaders said, quoting physicians, that her health condition is concerning.
