Religious and community leaders across the country have stepped forward in a show of solidarity, opening their doors to provide safe shelter for individuals affected by Iran’s recent strikes on the US Navy’s Fifth Fleet base in Bahrain.
Following the evacuation orders issued for residents of Juffair, many citizens and expatriates have been left temporarily displaced, awaiting clearance from government authorities to safely return to their homes.
Among these generous individuals is fashion influencer Ayesha Umer, who is offering a safe space to the people of the country she says she is ‘deeply grateful to’. “What we are hearing and experiencing right now isn’t something we have gone through here before,” Ms Umer said on her social media account.
“The distant thuds and unusual sounds can feel unsettling, especially when you are alone with your thoughts,” she added.
“Even when we know everything is under control, moments like these can make you pause.
“As expat girls, not everyone is fortunate enough to be surrounded by family here and many of us live on our own.
“If you are alone and feeling a little anxious because of the current situation, please know that you don’t have to deal with this on your own.
“My home is open to you, truly. If you need company or a calm space, then call me or message me. Sometimes, just being around people makes all the difference.”
People, especially women, can contact Ms Umer on her social media @dailysparks__.
