Islamabad: Islamabad: Ambassador of Italy to Pakistan Andreas Ferrarese and his Italian government have played a positive role regarding flood relief work in Pakistan.

Ambassador Andreas Ferrarese and the Italian diplomatic missions in Pakistan immediately took action with the Italian Government and, at the same time, made an appeal for prompt humanitarian help and aid for future recovery.

Under the patronage of the Italian Embassy in Islamabad, Consulate of Italy in Karachi, Italian Friends of The Citizens Foundation, Community of Sant’Egidio, Yunus Brothers Group (YBG), South City Hospital, and Paramount Books swiftly responded to this appeal and are currently organising and distributing funds, medicines, and basic sustenance supplies to deal with the emergency now and later assist with the reconstruction.

TCF Pakistan is also providing one million meals to families who have lost all means of surviving. Additionally, they will help 5,000 families rebuild their houses after the storm’s waters have subsided.

This week, a flight carrying tonnes of relief goods for flood-ravaged people arrived in Pakistan from Italy.

The plane carrying relief goods from Italy landed in Karachi and was received by adviser to Chief Minister Sindh on Relief and Rehabilitation Rasool Bakhsh Chandio.

The relief flight was also welcomed by the Italian Consul General, Director General Foreign Ministry, Pakistan forces and representatives of National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA).
