Pakistan has reaffirmed its commitment to providing humanitarian aid to those in distress, with speakers at a recent ceremony emphasizing the urgent need for relief.

This dedication is evident in Pakistan’s 12th aid shipment to the region, comprising 10 consignments sent to Palestine and 2 to Lebanon.

To bolster these efforts, the Government of Pakistan has established the “Prime Minister’s Relief Fund for Gaza and Lebanon”. This fund will collect donations from the public to aid those affected by the war.
