KARACHI: The Sindh government has dispatched a water filtration plant to Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) and 10 trucks loaded with ration bags and other essential food items for the flood-affected families, a statement said.

Sindh Chief Minister Murad Ali Shah also held a telephonic conversation with the governor of Gilgit-Baltistan (GB) and extended condolences over the loss of lives caused by the floods. The Sindh CM Secretariat also established contact with the GB CM Secretariat to coordinate possible assistance.

CM Shah conveyed deep grief over the loss of lives in GB and assured that the Peoples Party government will extend every possible support to the flood-hit population of the region.

“The Sindh government shares the pain of our brothers in Gilgit-Baltistan and will provide all possible assistance in this time of need,” he affirmed.

Meanwhile, the CM held a meeting with a high-powered Ethiopian delegation to discuss climate change cooperation, mass plantation and green development initiatives.

The delegation, led by Ethiopia’s Ambassador Dr Jemal Beker Abdula, briefed the CM on the Green Legacy Initiative, under which Ethiopia has planted more than 40 billion trees since 2019.
