KARACHI: The Saylani Welfare Trust, a non-profit organisation, in collaboration with Rotary International dispatched four 40-foot containers filled with emergency aid for the people of Gaza from Karachi.
The aid, facilitated by the National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA) includes medicines, ready-to-eat items, and dried packaged food, addressing the dire food shortages resulting from Israeli aggression.
The trust’s CEO, Mufti Madni Raza, alongside members of the managing committee, oversaw the departure of the consignment.
This marks the fourth aid shipment sent by the trust, totaling approximately Rs200 million in value, with previous packages including essentials like tents, blankets, and warm clothing.
Maulana Muhammad Bashir Farooq, the founder and chairman of the trust, emphasised the critical need for sustained aid and urged international humanitarian agencies to secure an immediate ceasefire in the region.
