ISLAMABAD, Saturday, September 17, 2022 (WAFA) – A Palestinian aid team has arrived in Pakistan to help in the relief efforts following the devastating flood that affected different regions of the country.
Minister of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates Riyad Malki said in a statement that the Palestinian urgent intervention and response team of the Palestinian International Cooperation Agency (PICA) is the first of the international teams to arrive in Pakistan this morning and includes specialized doctors, experts in crisis and disaster management from the Red Crescent Society, and members of the civil defense.
He said the team will, over the course of eight days, carry out its humanitarian relief mission alongside the Pakistani teams deployed in different regions.
“The intervention team will be in the district of Deir Ismail Khan, in the Khyber Pakhtun province, which is inhabited by nearly 40 million Pakistanis who suffer difficult living conditions, especially with the formation of lakes that covered entire villages, and the displacement of their residents, who are currently homeless,” said the Foreign Minister.
