The Adhaalath Party continues to urge Maldivians to provide assistance for flood victims in Pakistan
In a statement issued today, the party said that Muslims “should provide humanitarian aid when an Islamic country is in trouble.”
“Due the heavy rain to Pakistan, more than 20 million people have become homeless, crops have been damaged, and apart from the starvation caused, diseases such as cholera and flus are now widespread,’’ said the party. “The concerned authorities revealed that there are more than 3.5 million children among the victims.’’
The Adhaalath Party recently launched a fund for the provision of humanitarian aid for flood victims in Pakistan.
