Accompanied by local officials, including Deputy Commissioner Saba Asghar Ali, Additional DC General Ayub Bukhari and Rescue 1122 regional director Syed Kamal Abid, the eight-member delegation embarked on a tour.

They spent two hours visiting the flood-hit areas, including Kot Dasu and Daska, using Rescue 1122 boats. During their visit, they provided rations, ready-to-eat food and drinking water to people impacted by the floodwaters.

“The United Nations stands with the people of Pakistan in this difficult time,” Dr Yahya said.
