PM calls on nation to donate blankets, baby food for flood victims

Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif on Saturday asked the nation to generously and urgently donate baby food and blankets for the flood-stricken people.

Addressing a meeting to review rescue and relief operations in the areas affected by the floods at the Pakistan Air Force Base Nur Khan, the prime minister made the appeal in view of winter approaching. 

“Small children affected by the floods are in dire need of food,” said the PM. 

The prime minister said that the Pakistan Army and state machinery are working together for flood victims, adding that the Benazir Income Support Programme (BISP) has distributed Rs30 billion among the flood victims. 

“BISP is a very reliable system and is accepted by foreign agencies,” he added.
