ISLAMABAD: In line with the directives of Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, the National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA) handed over a second tranche of humanitarian assistance, comprising 35 tons of essential relief goods, for the victims of Myanmar earthquake, bringing Pakistan’s total aid to 70 tons.

The Ambassador of Pakistan in Myanmar, H.E. Imran Haider, along with the diplomats and officials from the Pakistan Embassy, officially handed over the relief to the Chief Minister of the Yangon Region and the Director General of Training of MoFA.

The government of Pakistan and Pakistan’s National Disaster Management Authority remain steadfast in their commitment to providing humanitarian assistance to the earthquake-affected people of Myanmar.
The death toll from the powerful quake that hit on March 28 rose to 3,471, state media reported, with 4,671 people injured and another 214 still missing.

Aid agencies have warned that the combination of the unseasonable rains and extreme heat could cause outbreaks of disease, including cholera, among quake survivors who are camping in the open.
