Provincial minister HR&MA Ijaz Alam Augustine extolled the initiative taken by P.M I.K by sending two planeloads of relief goods for flood-hit Iran to meet its immediate needs. He said that Pakistan has deep relations with Iran and as a gesture of goodwill the prime minister had instructed two C-130 planeloads of relief goods to be sent immediately to Iran [Ahwaz and Khorumabad]. Hopefully, the relief assistance by Pakistan would aim at meeting some of the urgent needs of the flood-affected population in Iran. The minister said that unfortunately, Iran had been facing massive floods for the past three weeks in which nearly 70 people have lost lives, while thousands have been displaced and large scale losses to infrastructures have also been reported.
