10 Oct, 2012

 

This effort follows Mobilink's initial phase of flood relief activation that had reached thousands of victims in Southern Punjab.

 

According to the Company here on Wednesday, its initial flood relief activity, organized in September, had focused on victims in vicinity of Rojhan, DG Khan and Rajanpur.

 

As a result of this quick and coordinated action, the Mobilink Foundation was the first to provide relief through supplies of food and water to nearly 12,000 flood affected people in South Punjab.

 

Mobilink is now working with the Pakistan Navy to initiate flood-relief efforts to counter flood related devastation in Balochistan.

 

District Jaffarabad is one of the worst floods affected with access to the area being hindered by standing flood water,inundated road infrastructure and a precarious security situation.

 

Mobilink Foundation and employees volunteer force will be engaged for physical distribution of food and water supplies for over 14,000 people occupying temporary shelters in the area.  Pakistan Navy will organize logistics, transportation and distribution, using both air and land transport.
