Cuban volunteers engaged in hectic relief efforts
By Uzma Zafar

ISLAMABAD—"Cuban volunteering teams are busy in hectic relief efforts in Pakistan since the 8th October earthquake and are in fact, making all out efforts to rehabilitate the earthquake affectees." These views were stated by Yainier Morales Ortega and Lyane Casas Perez of the international contingent from MINSAP; Ministry of Public Health, Cuba, currently in Capital for relief and rehabilitation of earthquake affectees, during their visit to The Daily Mail offices, here this Monday.
It is pertinent to mention here that despite the meagre resources that a developing country like Cuba possesses, it's government has always sent aid in face of various tragedies across the globe, proving that the country has a big heart which beats for humanity all over, without any discrimination and the presence of their volunteer teams in Pakistan proves the close bonds of Pakistan and Cuba at large.
About their visit, the Spanish-speaking visitors stated casually while sipping hot coffee that they were here with an international contingent of around 700 volunteers from Cuba, headed by Henry Meere, since last Friday, comprising of surgeons, orthopaedics, radiologists, hence all sorts of medical practitioners carrying x-ray equipment and laboratory services.
About their relief activities, the friendly doctors stated that they would leave for the mountains, i.e. the quake-affected areas of AJK in a couple of days. They expressed that that Pakistanis were a friendly nation but there was vast cultural diversity as par the language, food and attire of the two countries. The first time visitors to Pakistan highly appreciated The Daily Mail's guidance in Cuban relief activities and it's pragmatic coverage of the relief efforts and high standards of news coverage at large.
