Kumari Paudel from Surkhet, who has been a caregiver in Israel for two decades, has been in constant fear for the past three days. She has not even been able to sleep since the war between Israel and Iran started on Thursday night. Missiles are being fired from Tehran to Tel Aviv.

He does not know how much damage has been done to Iran by the missiles fired by Israel, but the terrible damage Israel has suffered from the missiles fired by Iran is happening before his eyes.

8 houses within a 15-minute walk from his apartment were damaged by Iranian missiles. "When the missile fell, there was such a great vibration and sound that my heart was shaken," she said to Kantipur, "I have never felt such a ground-shaking vibration."

She reached Israel in 2006. At that time Israel was at war with Lebanon. "I saw many wars in these two decades, sometimes it was with Lebanon, sometimes it was with Hamas, I was not so afraid in those wars," she said, "the war with Iran starting on Thursday is a very scary situation."

In her experience, the war is getting worse every day. "Thursday night, I was not so afraid of the missile blast from Iran, but on Friday night, it fell near my house. The attacks on Saturday night have become even more terrifying, and huge damage has been caused," she said. More than 200 people were injured. 61 buildings have been damaged. On Saturday night only 7 people were killed when a missile fell on a residential building in Tel Aviv's Wat Yam. 

"Since Israel's Iron Dome could not destroy 100 percent of Iran's missiles in the sky, everyone is starting to feel insecure," says Shivram Khadka, who works in Jerusalem, "Iron Dome used to destroy the missiles of Hamas and Hezbollah in the sky, but the missiles fired by Iran are falling on the ground and causing damage, everyone is panicked, now the situation is that Iron Dome provides security as before.

He said that the bunker is the safest place for security

. "We are confused about how this war will progress, how long it will last, we are in fear and panic," he said. Air services have already been suspended. This indicates that the war will be prolonged. Ganesh Giri from Pokhara, who has been working in Tel Aviv since 2008, believes that foreign citizens should not be afraid until Israeli citizens are safe. "We will also get all the security measures that the local citizens here get," he said, "even the air route to return to Nepal is closed." The Non-Resident Nepali Association in Israel has been claiming that there are more than 7,000 Nepalese workers, but the Ministry of Foreign Affairs said through a statement on Sunday that there are about 5,500 Nepali workers in Israel and they are all safe. Likewise, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has informed that 12 Nepalis in Iran, which is at war with Israel, are also safe. "The government of Nepal is closely monitoring the developments between Israel and Iran, necessary appropriate steps will be taken to ensure the welfare of the Nepalis there," Pararashtra said in a statement.

Meanwhile, Foreign Minister Arju Rana Deuba has instructed the ambassador to give top priority to the security of Nepalis in Israel and Iran. Deuba called the Nepalese ambassadors in Tel Aviv and Doha and instructed them to ensure the safety of the citizens and stay in constant contact with them.

Labor spokesperson Danduraj Ghimire said that they are coordinating with foreign affairs to get information from Nepalis in Israel. "We are sensitive about Nepalis working in Israel, we are receiving information about Nepali workers who have reached Israel through government mechanisms, so far there has been no request from anyone to return to Nepal citing security reasons," he said. 

In the House of Representatives on Sunday, the parliamentarians sought the government's opinion on the security of Nepalis in Israel and Iran. Maoist MP Devendra Paudel has requested the government to take immediate action for the safety of Nepalis in Iran and Israel. There is a fierce war between Israel and Iran, more than 7 thousand Nepali are in Israel, some number are also in Iran. What initiative is the government taking for their safety?
