In the aftermath of the devastating floods in Sri Lanka, the Government of Pakistan is sending the much needed humanitarian assistance worth over Sri Lankan Rupees 11.2 million (US $ 100,000) for the flood victims. The emergency relief items include tents and blankets which will be distributed to the victims through the Government of Sri Lanka.

These items have been sent following an appeal made by the Pakistani mission in Colombo on the request of the Sri Lankan Government. Flooding has left at least 40 people dead and more than 1 million people displaced in the north, east and central parts of the country in recent days.

The Plane carrying the relief material arrived on Thursday at the Katunayake International Airport. Pakistan has always stood by Sri Lanka in the hour of distress in the past and will do so in the future as well.
