ISLAMABAD: The King Salman Humanitarian Aid and Relief Centre (KSrelief) has launched a large-scale emergency relief effort to assist thousands of families affected by devastating floods across Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP).
The aid operation is targeting some of the hardest-hit areas, including Swat, Buner, Shangla, Battagram, Mansehra, Dir Upper, Dir Lower, Swabi, and nearby regions, where communities have been left stranded with limited access to shelter and food.
KSrelief has committed 10,000 Shelter Non-Food Item (NFI) Kits and 10,000 Food Packages for distribution. Each Shelter Kit contains tents, solar panels with LED lights, thermal blankets, plastic mats, kitchen sets, water coolers, and antibacterial soap — essential supplies to support families displaced by floods.
The Food Packages, each weighing 95 kilograms, include wheat flour, sugar, lentils, and cooking oil, designed to meet the immediate nutritional needs of affected households.
The distribution drive is being carried out in collaboration with the National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA), Provincial Disaster Management Authority (PDMA), the Relief, Rehabilitation and Settlement Department of KP (RR&SD KP), as well as KSrelief’s implementing partners, Hayat Foundation and the Peace and Development Organization.
According to officials, this joint initiative aims to ensure that relief reaches vulnerable families quickly and transparently. KSrelief emphasized that the effort reflects the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia’s ongoing commitment to stand by the people of Pakistan in times of crisis by providing immediate and effective humanitarian assistance.
