The United Arab Emirates has begun operating an air bridge to transport humanitarian aid to flood victims in Pakistan.
The relief aid includes shelter materials, humanitarian needs, food and medical parcels for those affected by torrential rains and floods, with the aim of contributing to supporting efforts to alleviate the suffering of the affected people.
The move follows the order of the UAE president Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan to provide all forms of support to Pakistan.
Hamad Obaid Ibrahim Salem Al Zaabi, UAE Ambassador to Pakistan, said that the first Emirati relief aid plane flew to Pakistan on Monday morning, to be followed by a number of other aid planes over the coming days to provide the required support.
