DOHA (Pakistan Point News / Sputnik - 06th May, 2020) Firefighters have managed to evacuate all residents from a high-rise in Sharjah, one of the largest cities in the United Arab Emirates, where a massive fire broke out on Tuesday evening, media reported.
According to Emarat Al Youm newspaper, citing the UAE General Directorate of Civil Defense, all residents about 250 families have been evacuated before the extinguishing.
