ISLAMABAD - Prime Minister Mian Muhammad Nawaz Sharif has expressed deep grief and sorrow over human and material loss rendered by flash floods in some areas of Afghanistan and sympathised with Afghan President Ashraf Ghani.
In a message sent to Afghan President Ashraf Ghani on Sunday, he said;" I am deeply troubled upon learning of the devastating avalanches in Afghanistan that have claimed lives of hundreds of our Afghan brothers and sisters besides other property losses.
I join you in praying for them and their families.”
The PM said that he has already instructed Pakistan's National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA) to provide whatever support it can and we have already deployed multiple convoys to airlift support to Afghanistan.
He said, "I am confident that your leadership at this time is of even more importance than during ordinary times. The Pakistani people and our resources stand available to you as always. I also want to assure you that my staff is keeping me apprised of the situation on an hourly basis. Inshallah we will not sleep peacefully until we know that this crisis has passed."
