Pakistan Relief continues distribution of Food and NFIs

...of the first phase of the distribution we started the 2nd phase to address the immediate requirements of the people in need in Balochistan and Sindh. The Balochistan province remained bit neglected since only four NGOs i.e. Lands Aid, Pakistan Relief, Turkish Medical Mission and Agha Khan Hospital were responding in an area where 1.2 million people were affected by the devastating floods, either directly or indirectly. In this regard, we have distributed Quilts, Hygiene Kits, Water Coolers and Kitchen Utensils at district Jafarabad, Balochistan. Almost 4,300 families comprising 24,000 individuals have been benefited.

In the thirds phase another 2500 families are going to receive relief goods till the mid of December, 2010. Since harsh winter is around the corner, tens of thousands of families are still looking forward to have shelter, quilts, blankets, and warm clothing.
