By Uzma Zafar
 ISLAMABAD—Sahara
for Life Trust, under it’s chairman; Abrar-ul-Haq, has initiated
reliefoperations at quake-hit areas of Muzaffarabad and it’s adjoining
places and in this regard, a caravan consisting of 26 trucks, ambulances
and 200 volunteers, is already intact in place, providing relief to
various quake affectees. The large relief caravan of Sahara for Life
Trust contains 150 males and 50 female volunteers, who are working day
and night for the victims’ relief.
Abrar-ul-Haq has so far distributed over 500 tents, food items, blankets
and a large number of beds, among the masses of rural Muzaffarabad,
living at places like Aprambor and Charakpura. Speaking to the pressmen,
at the occasion, Abrar said that 5 hospitals have been set up for flood
affectees, by Sahara for Life Trust. He briefed that along the ongoing
relief efforts, for helpless kids and women, suffered in the quake, a
camp by the name of Wafa, would also be set up while a residential area
for their compensation would be established at Rawalpindi where along
housing and food, education and training would also be provided to the
kids. He directed the volunteers of Sahara for Life Trust to provide
immediate aid through relief items, tents and medical aid, to the
quake-affected areas.
He said that the aid for quake victims should not only be confined to
roads only for the destruction scene at far-flung areas is far more
disastrous. While appealing to the masses of supporting Sahara for Life
Trust, he asked for continued relief for quake victims’ rehabilitation,
in form of relief items, tents and medical aid. He said that Sahara for
Life Trust, in it’s next phase of relief activities, would help poor
quake-affectees to help rebuild their houses from scratch. Abrar-ul-Haq
also visited the relief camps set up at Muzaffarabad, by the doctors of
foreign countries while extending his full co-operation to them. |
