The aid is part of Qatar Charity’s relief interventions for Pakistan’s flood victims. The food packages were delivered by QC’s field teams to the those affected by the floods in Pakistan where many homes were destroyed by the ravaging flood that hit severely many provinces of the country.
The dry food packages contain flour, vegetable oil, dates, rice, sugar, tea, salt and other necessary food items.
“Qatar Charity is the only organisation that is distributing dry food packages, which are urgently needed by those affected by the floods,” said Capt (Rtd) Abdul Rahman, deputy commissioner of Ch?rsadda district, adding that the affected need more food and health assistance.
“The devastating flood demolished my house and killed my cow,” said Wasif Ullah, a beneficiary of Qatar Charity’s food aid, adding “I had nothing to eat.” He received a dry food package from Qatar Charity, which is sufficient for his family of eight for one month. He noted that this is not the situation of his family only, but all the people in the district are in the same condition, with no food, no shelter and no health facilities.
“Due to this flood, I lost my mud house and livestock, which was the only source of income for me,” said Rozeena Jan, noting the importance of Qatar Charity’s food aid for the survival of her family in this time of plight.
