Pakistan has handed over the second consignment of relief to Myanmar to support those affected by the recent earthquake.

The help, which consisted of 35 tonnes of important goods, was officially provided by Pakistan’s ambassador to Myanmar, Imran Haider, to Chief Minister of the Yangon region of Yangon International Airport.

This latest shipping brings the total relief from Pakistan to 70 tonnes after the devastating earthquake that hit Myanmar.

Help is part of Pakistan’s continued obligation to provide humanitarian support to the surviving earthquakes under the Directives of Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif.

Pakistan’s National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA) played a key role in effective coordination and timely sending of AID, ensuring that the shipment reached its destination quickly.

The delivery of help is an important part of Pakistan’s efforts to support Myanmar in his improvement and help those who have lost their homes and livelihoods in the disaster.

Pakistan remains steadfast in his commitment to providing humanitarian assistance to the people of Myanmar, and this second consignment demonstrates the country’s ongoing solidarity with the affected communities.

A powerful 7.7 sizes hit Myanmar on March 28, resulting in deaths of 3,455 people and injuring more than 4,500, according to official figures.

The United Nations has called for international support describing the destruction scale as “dizzying” and called on the global community to stand in solidarity with Myanmar during this humanitarian crisis.

Previously, the first shipment of assistance was sent, which included 35 tonnes of goods, including tents, tarpaulins, blankets, ready to eat meals, medicine and water modules.
