Islamabad
\nThe recent monsoon floods in Pakistan have run havoc in the country. Thousands of people have lost their lives and millions have lost their homes and livelihood. The federal government has calculated a loss of at least $10 billion as a result of weeks of heavy rainfall and subsequent floods, with Sindh and Baluchistan, in particular, incurring damages of more than $2 billion (Rs500 billion approx.) due to the destruction in terms of homes, livestock and all main crops.
\nThe government is carrying out its responsibilities and duties, but Pakistan\u2019s private sector can play a massive role in the rehabilitation of flood-affected areas. In these times of unprecedented calamity, our nation stands together in support of our brothers suffering the most.
\nKeeping in the spirit of nationhood and fraternity, AAA Associates has been actively participating in flood relief efforts. As a leading real estate company in Pakistan, AAA Associates recognized its responsibility to community building.
\nThey began relief activities on a priority basis early August in Islamabad to provide essential daily necessities and assist flood victims. Emergency aid supplies and equipment, as well as food, and shelter, were being distributed among the affectees. Along with the flood relief aid in Quetta, AAA Associates made a cash donation to the affected people in Sindh.
\nThe AAA Associates Skardu Branch also made cash donations to the management of Skardu\u2019s major central mosques, who will then distribute them to flood victims.
\nOn the occasion, Chairman AAA Associates Mr. Sheikh Fawad Bashir expressed his solidarity with the people that have lost their homes, their farms and all the sources of their livelihood.
\nHe said that \u201cClimate Change has brought these catastrophic floods to our villages and towns, resulting in millions of people being displaced and shelterless. As a nation, we should extend all that we can in support of our people\u201d.
\nMD AAA Associates Lt. Col. Shahzad Ali Kiani (r) also expressed his concern as well and said, \u201cI am deeply troubled about the current floods in Pakistan, which have been exacerbated by the effects of climate change.
\nThese floods, as well as the numerous other weather events occurring around the world, necessitate a redoubling of our efforts to combat the climate crisis that threatens to engulf us. AAA Associates has been called in to assist the government\u2019s relief and rehabilitation efforts.\u201d
\nThe government presented the damage estimating that the economic impact of the floods would be at least $10 billion, or nearly 3% of the country\u2019s GDP. This is the time we need to prove that patriotism is above any nationality and help people impacted by the devastating floods.
\nThe Government of Pakistan along with many private NGOs are providing relief and rehabilitation to the affectees of torrential rains and flash floods in many parts of the country. In these times of despair, the real estate industry must come together to assist as many individuals as possible, regardless of political affiliation.
\nOur people are our strength. AAA Associates stands with the people of Sindh, Baluchistan, and Southern Punjab, as well as those in Kohistan and Skardu, who have suffered the disastrous effects of floods. We will do everything in our capacity to help those that are suffering.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
