To help the affected people cope with the devastation, Saudi Arabia's KSrelief has been busy in providing emergency relief assistance in the flood-hit areas.

Adviser at the Royal Court and Supervisor General of KSrelief Dr. Abdullah bin Abdulaziz Al Rabeeah, added that based on the generous directives of Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques and a close follow-up from His Royal Highness Prince Mohammed bin Salman bin Abdulaziz, Crown Prince and Prime Minister, KSrelief launched the Saudi popular fund-raising to collect donations through the center's platform "Sahem" to help affected brothers in Pakistan, stressing that these generous directives reflect the role of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia in helping the needy and affected people across the world and are part of the brotherly relations between Saudi Arabia and Pakistan and the two peoples.
Earlier during the months of July and August, KSrelief had managed to distribute 15000 food Packages containing more than (1425) tons of essential food items of daily use to flood affected people in Baluchistan and other regions of the country.

KSrelief has also started different land operations including provision and distribution of (50,000 Food Packages), (50,000 Mosquito Nets) and (5,000 Tents).
