Chinese youth raises RMB 2m for flood victims in Pakistan

Islamabad, The Gulf Observer: A civil group named China-Pakistan Youth Exchange Community started online fund-raising and so far have raised around RMB 2 million to buy tents, food, daily use items for flood-stricken people in Pakistan.
The group has so far provided 600 tents in Multan which were urgently needed and mostly used by people displaced by floods. In the future, they will provide another 500 tents for flood-affected residents in Multan, says Ma Bin, Community leader.

Ma said that its Multan team had provided a complete set of rescue plan for 100 particularly poor families in flood-stricken areas. Each of the rescue packages contains a tent, two blankets, drinking water, food and daily necessities.

Notably, they also bought PVC sheets used in the construction of animal shelters, forage and feed for animals.

“Apart from houses and valuables, flash floods washed away local people’s poultry and livestock, and completely damaged standing crops. All these were their source of earnings, now people do not know how they would survive. It’s heartrending. We hope to do our best to help iron brothers in distress, said Ma.
