Tashkent, Uzbekistan (UzDaily.com) -- Today, on 29 September, a consignment of humanitarian cargo was delivered from the city of Termez to the Pakistani city of Karachi on behalf of the Government of Uzbekistan and the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR).
This is the first joint delivery of humanitarian aid with UNHCR for people affected by the recent floods in Pakistan. Earlier, on 1 September, on behalf of President Shavkat Mirziyoyev, a humanitarian cargo in the amount of 40 tons was sent to Islamabad to assist the regions of Pakistan affected by unprecedented floods.
“We highly appreciate the support of the Government of Uzbekistan, which allows the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees to quickly provide humanitarian assistance in times of urgent need,” said Hans Friedrich Schodder, UNHCR Representative in Central Asia.
The humanitarian assistance consists of housing modules to provide temporary housing for flood victims and emergency supplies designed to mitigate the effects of a natural disaster for those whose homes were destroyed by the floods, Dunyo news agency reported.
At Karachi’s Jinnah International Airport, representatives of the National Disaster Management Authority and the territorial office of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs accepted the cargo on behalf of the Government of Pakistan.
“This humanitarian aid is very important for strengthening friendly ties between our peoples. The outstretched helping hand in difficult days is a sign of brotherhood and solidarity. We express our sincere gratitude to the leadership and the friendly people of Uzbekistan, and to the Office of the UN High Commissioner for Refugees in Central Asia,” said the representative of the territorial office of the Pakistani Foreign Ministry in Karachi, Ashik Ali.
