Executive Summary

Commercial air evacuation from Karachi is failing. Authorities cancelled 64 Middle East flights after Iran shot down two American warplanes. Massive anti-American protests will target Karachi following the search for a missing American pilot. Flooded roads and lethal street crime further restrict safe movement across the city. Shelter in place immediately and prepare alternative overland evacuation routes.
