The Turkish Red Crescent Society continued its efforts together with Pakistan Red Crescent Society in the flood-affected areas. In this respect, humanitarian relief packages were extended to 1,000 flood-stricken Pakistani families in the most affected areas of Sindh like Badin and Mirpurkhas.
The aid package for each family includes a tent, a hygiene box, and a 54-kg food package. The Turkish International Cooperation and Development Agency (TIKA) is also providing 1,200 rainproof tents to support the relief works in Thatta, Badin and Tando Muhammad Khan. A Turkish Airlines cargo plane which will carry on board an aid package consisting of 10 tons of medicines as well as 25 tons of humanitarian assistance materials, mainly composed of tents, blankets, water purification tablets and sanitary supplies, will arrive at the Karachi airport tonight.
Hoping that the aid package would help alleviate the heavy burden of the affected Pakistani brethren, the embassy of the Republic of Turkey in Islamabad extended its condolences to the families of the deceased, shared the grief of the Pakistani nation and availed itself of this opportunity to convey its best regards to the Pakistani media agencies.
Meanwhile, Denmark will donate on emergency basis US$60,000 to the Natural Disaster Management Authority (NDMA) to provide urgent assistance to the flood victims in Sindh. The commitment was made during a meeting between Danish Ambassador Uffe Wolffhechel and NDMA Chairman Dr Zafar Iqbal Qadir on Friday. The Danish ambassador expressed deep concern over the health and wellbeing of 5.4 million people, especially women and children, who have been affected by the floods this year.
He said the Danish government was preparing a response plan based on the flash appeal made jointly by the Pakistan government and the Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) last week. “Our support to the flood victims is in progress and we are working towards providing further assistance to the flood victims across Pakistan. This year, we once again find these people fighting to survive. More than 800,000 people have been displaced from their homes. Women and children continue to face serious health issues, which definitely need to be a focal point in the flood relief programme along with provision of food and shelter,” Wolffhechel said.
The NDMA chairman thanked the government of Denmark for providing immediate aid for flood relief activities and assured him that all the aid money would benefit the victims on immediate basis. He highlighted that shelter was one of the most required items currently as many families had been displaced and living under vulnerable circumstances. Denmark donated $ 22 million as relief contribution during the floods last year.
