ISLAMABAD: The King Salman Humanitarian Aid and Relief Center (KSrelief) has successfully completed the distribution of food packages to 8,500 families in Punjab under the final phase of its Food Security Support Project in Pakistan, the Saudi charity said on Friday.
Under the initiative, food packages weighing 97 kilograms each were distributed among vulnerable communities in Punjab’s Multan, Bahawalpur, Muzaffargarh, Bahawalnagar, Rajanpur, Nankana Sahib, Khanewal Rahim Yar Khan, Chiniot and Toba Tek Singh, most of whom were affected by the last monsoon foods in Pakistan.
Each package included 80 kilograms of flour, 5 liters of cooking oil, 5 kilograms of sugar, 5 kilograms of Daal chana, and 2 kilograms of dates, ensuring essential nutritional support for beneficiary families, according to KSrelief.
“The initiative was aimed at ensuring the provision of essential food supplies to food-insecure and deserving population,” the Saudi charity said in a statement.
“The distribution process was carried out in a transparent and well-coordinated manner with the support of the National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA), Provincial Disaster Management Authority (PDMA), district administrations, and KSrelief’s implementing partners, Hayat Foundation and the Peace and Development Organization.”
Saudi Arabia has been one of Pakistan’s largest humanitarian partners, with KSrelief contributing to flood recovery, health, education and livelihood programs across the South Asian nation. The livestock project expands that cooperation by helping rural households in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, a province frequently affected by floods and displacement, to rebuild economic stability and reduce dependence on aid.
“This initiative reflects KSrelief’s continued commitment to strengthening food security across Pakistan by providing timely assistance to vulnerable communities,” the charity said.
“It further underscores KSrelief’s broader humanitarian mission to alleviate suffering and promote sustainable development worldwide.”
