Parents stuck in Pakistan due to airspace closure — options to return to Bahrain?

Hello everyone, hope you're all doing well.

My parents (both Bahraini nationals) are currently stuck in Pakistan. They were originally supposed to return to Bahrain on March 2nd, but due to the ongoing situation and the airspace closure, they haven’t been able to travel back.

I’m trying to figure out if there are any possible alternatives or workarounds that would allow them to return to Bahrain—whether that’s flying through another country, special permissions, or any other option people might know about.

If anyone has gone through something similar recently or has any information or suggestions, I would really appreciate the help. Thank you in advance.
