LAHORE: Child Protection Bureau Chairperson Sarah Ahmad set up a flood relief camp in a far-flung flood-affected area of Basti Lashari of south Punjab and distributed ration and relief goods among the flood-affected children.

Ms Ahmad met the children who were affected by the floods at the relief camp. She also distributed relief goods to the children which she arranged with her personal efforts from different philanthropists.

She said that due to inaccessibility, Basti Lashari could not get sufficient help where people had lost their houses and their crops had been destroyed.

She stated that the purpose of the flood relief camp is to rescue the children who were separated from their parents and left abandoned during the flood.

She said the people should report missing or unaccompanied minors in affected areas to CPWB Helpline 1121.

In different centres of the bureau, there are complete arrangements for providing residential facilities to the affected children of the flood victims.
