\nPrime Minister Shehbaz Sharif on Friday, reaffirming Pakistan\u2019s support to the suffering people of Palestine, Gaza and Lebanon, urged the countrymen to donate generously to the relief fund, established by the government.
\nThe prime minister, chairing a meeting to review the relief efforts for dispatching the relief assistance for Palestine, Gaza and Lebanon, appealed the people to supplement the government\u2019s efforts and particularly the affluent people to donate wholeheartedly for the fund. He said the locals as well as overseas Pakistanis should send their donations to IBAN:PK11SBPD0000001111114292 or Raast ID: 01111114292 to assist the suffering people of Palestine and Lebanon. He told the meeting that Pakistan would soon dispatch another 3,000 tents and 12,000 blankets besides eatables and medicines for the people of Palestine and Lebanon.
\nHe sought a report from the Pakistan\u2019s ambassadors in the neighboring countries of Palestine and Lebanon on the required quantity of tents and blankets and play their part to accelerate the supply of relief goods.
\nThe prime minister condemned the impediments being created by Israel in the relief efforts and lauded the NGOs supplementing the Government of Pakistan\u2019s relief efforts.
\nHe said the government would make no compromise on the quality of the relief items and asked the authorities concerned to dispatch the fireproof tents.
\nExpressing his concerns over the growing Israeli barbarism, he called for the international community\u2019s role to end the genocide of Palestinian people.
\nHe said the major reason behind the world war in the 20th century was the indifference of the world powers to the conflicts.
\nIn the briefing, it was told that since October 8, 2023, 12 cargos had been dispatched to Palestine through six chartered, three PAF special flights and another three through the sea route. The consignments consisted of 3145 tents, 12625 blankets, eatables, milk powder and medicines.
\nBesides, another 3,000 tents and 12,000 blankets were being sent through three flights soon.
\nThe prime minister was informed that two batches of Palestinian medical students had reached in Lahore and Islamabad.
\nThe prime minister asked the relevant authorities to make arrangements for Palestinian students to study in other disciplines as well, other than the medicine.
\nDeputy Prime Minister Ishaq Dar, federal ministers Ahsan Iqbal, Ahad Khan Cheema and Attaullah Tarar, Advisor to PM, SAPM Tariq Fatemi, chairmen of Higher Education Commission, and National Disaster Management Authority and relevant senior officers attended the meeting.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
