PESHAWAR (PR) - A team of Customs Welfare Society doctors and paramedics, headed by Dr Asif Mehmood Jah, is providing relief goods and medical facilities to the people in the rain-affected areas of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, according to a press release. The team worked in the worst-hit villages such as Pakka Ghulam, Budu, Samar Bagh, Adreema and Bala. On Wednesday the team moved to Wahid Garhi, Charsadda, where 60 houses had been destroyed by the storm. The team provided medical facilities to 2,000 patients as well as ration and clothes to 200 families.
