One individual, who was previously in critical condition, is now reported to be out of danger.
According to the Nepali Embassy in Abu Dhabi, six of the injured were discharged after receiving medical care, while the seriously injured individual continues to undergo treatment at a hospital.
The embassy said it has maintained telephone contact with the injured and has visited four of them in person to assess their condition. Efforts are ongoing to provide necessary assistance and coordination, it added.
The treatment of the injured is being carried out in coordination with the UAE government. The embassy noted that the condition of the remaining patient is improving and that they are expected to be discharged soon.
