They are terrified by the occasional missile.

What you should know

Renu Karki from Ilam went out to do yoga at a park in Wakra, Qatar around 7:30 am on Sunday. Suddenly, news came that a missile had landed in the sky over Qatar. The missile, which was fired by Iran, was neutralized by Qatar in the sky. ‘The sound was very loud. It felt like it had fallen on my head,’ she said. ‘I ran into the room very hard. My head still hurts.’

She said that she had been in fear since Saturday morning. ‘How far will this war go? I am worried about what form it will take,’ she said. ‘I have not gone out yet.’

It is not yet clear where the missile neutralized by Qatar will land. On Saturday, a piece fell in the Argentine camp in Ukir, where thousands of workers live. There were no human casualties. On Sunday morning, a decommissioned missile fell in a camp in Sanaiya-10. ‘We were getting into the car while going to duty in the morning. At that time, we heard a loud explosion in the sky. It fell and hit the camp near where we were staying, causing a huge fire,’ said Shivkumar Sunar, ‘After that, we did not go to work. We have stayed inside the camp. The government is also sending messages on mobile phones to not go out.’

According to the information of the Ministry of Interior of Qatar, no human casualties were reported from the fire in the Sanaiya area. ‘A piece of the missile that fell while decommissioning caused a fire in a place in the industrial area (Sanaiya). It was immediately brought under control by the civil defense team,’ the information of the Ministry of Interior states.

Iran is continuously carrying out missile attacks targeting the US military base camp in Qatar. This camp is the largest American base camp in the Gulf region. ‘In such a situation, everyone is afraid. What will happen when?’ Sunar said, ‘We are living safely.’

According to a speech given on local television by Abdullah Khalifa Al Muftah, the head of public relations for the Ministry of Interior of Qatar, Iran has fired at least 66 missiles. 114 missiles fell during the detonation. 16 people were injured. One person is in critical condition.

‘We were sitting on the roof and watching. It was like rain when the missiles detonated in the sky. This happens when the detonation of We called the police,' said Rudra Sharma of Khotang, who lives in Doha, 'The police took him away.'

He said that sitting on the roof and watching is very risky.

Qatar has banned outdoor work, saying that fragments falling during the missile's detonation could cause human casualties. It has decided to make those working in the government and private sectors work from home. 'Almost all work sites are closed,' said Shyam Bhusal of Wakra, Chitwan, 'There is not much activity outside. Shops are open.'

Shri Krishna Bhattarai of Gorkha, who lives in Algaraffa, said that everyone was scared when the explosions in the sky broke out overnight. 'This war is not with Qatar directly. It only attacked the American base camp in Qatar,' he said, 'We think that will make us safer. We are not panicking.' Everyone should follow the instructions issued by the security agencies here.'

Acting Ambassador to Qatar Kumar Rai said that Nepalis are safe. 'Information is being issued about sporadic incidents.' Nepali workers who are concerned about this are contacting the embassy,' he said, 'For now, everyone should not go out except for essential purposes.'

About 357,000 Nepalis are working in Qatar.'
