Flights to Pakistan for Aid Work
Two men from Wales were so moved by the plight of people affected by flooding that they booked flights to Pakistan to devote their own efforts to the cause.
Pharmacists Yacoob Maskeen and doctor Ibrahim Hayat, who both work in Cardiff, used their own money to pay for flights to Pakistan and accommodation, as well as bringing blankets and tents, the South Wales Echo reports. They distributed medical supplies to hundreds of Pakistanis who have not yet received help from international aid efforts.”Everything came out of our own pockets but it’s not about the money, it’s about helping people and trying to make their lives a little bit better,” Mr Maskeen told the newspaper.
Turkish prime minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan annd his ministers caught flights to Pakistan to meet with Punjab chief minister Shahbaz Sharif and discuss Turkey’s aid efforts in the flood-hit regions of the country. During his two-day stay, Mr Erdogan will speak with Pakistani leaders in an effort to forge stronger relations between the two countries, Turkish news agency Anadolu Ajansi reports.
Turkey was one of the first nations to begin raising funds for Pakistan’s appeal for relief. “We will tour the sites that were badly affected by the floods,” the news provider reports Mr Erdogan saying at a news conference, prior to his flight to Pakistan.”Turkey has sent humanitarian aid worth of $25 million (£15.8 million) to flood-hit Pakistan so far.” It follows news that that Tariq Azizud Din, ambassador of Pakistan to Turkey, recently presented a cheque for $1 million (£630,000) to the Prime Minister’s Flood Relief Fund.
They are planning to return to the country as soon as possible to carry on the good work and have appealed to people in Wales to donate money. It follows news that Turkey’s prime minister recently caught a flight to Pakistan to talk with leaders about his country’s aid efforts.
