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.
