LAHORE - Jamaat-e-Islami and its sister outfit Al-Khidmat Foundation and the Pakistan Islamic Medical Association (PIMA), have stepped up relief activities for the Attaabad Lake affectees. According to a statement issued here on Thursday, relief goods worth Rs 10 million have already reached Gilgit while a second consignment of goods including tents, food items, worth Rs 7 million is on way to Gilgit from Karachi, Lahore and Peshawar. A central relief office has been set up at Gilgit to supervise relief activities. Hundreds of JI and Al-Khidmat volunteers besides doctors and paramedics of the PIMA have reached the calamity hit area and started relief work. The Al-Khidmat Foundation has sent five ambulances to the spot for carrying patients to the Gilgit hospital. Meanwhile, the JI chief Syed Munawar Hasan has appealed to the government to provide two C- 130 cargo planes to the Al-khidmat Foundation for quick supply of the relief material to the calamity hit people as the land route was difficult and it took about 36 hours for the trucks to reach Gilgit from Lahore or Islamabad. He also appealed the philanthropists to rise to the occasion and extend every possible help to calamity stricken brethren in Hunza.
