Pakistan has delivered the second shipment of emergency relief aid to Myanmar to support those affected by the recent earthquake.
The aid, which consists of 35 tons of essential goods, was officially delivered by the Pakistan ambassador to Myanmar, Imran Haider, to the main minister of the Yangon region at Yangon International Airport.
This last shipment carries the total assistance of Relief from Pakistan to 70 tons, after the devastating earthquake that hit Myanmar.
The aid is part of Pakistan’s continuous commitment to provide humanitarian support to the survivors of the earthquake, under the directives of Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif.
The National Authority for Disaster Management of Pakistan (NDMA) played a key role in the efficient coordination and the appropriate dispatch for help, ensuring that the shipment reached its destination quickly.
Help delivery is a vital part of Pakistan’s efforts to support Myanmar in his recovery and help those who have lost their homes and livelihoods in disaster.
Pakistan remains firm in his commitment to provide humanitarian assistance to the people of Myanmar, and this second shipment demonstrates the country’s continuous solidarity with the affected communities.
A powerful 7.7 magnitude earthquake hit Myanmar on March 28, which resulted in the death of 3,455 people and wounded more than 4,500, according to official figures.
The United Nations have requested international support, describing the scale of destruction as “amazing” and urging the global community to solidarize with Myanmar during this humanitarian crisis.
Previously, the first aid shipment that included 35 tons of goods, including tents, canvases, blankets, meals to eat, medications and water modules were sent.
