Separately, in a show of solidarity, PM Shehbaz made a phone call to Syria’s Prime Minister, Hussain Arnous, to express his heartfelt condolences for the loss of life and property.
He also informed that Pakistan has already dispatched its first batch of humanitarian aid, with more relief goods set to arrive via air and land routes.
To aid the affected population in Turkey, over 200 tons of relief assistance, including tents, were sent at the request of the Turkish government. The move is aimed at providing comfort to the hundreds of thousands of people affected by the earthquake and the harsh winter conditions.
Moreover, doctors, paramedics, and rescue workers of the Pakistan Army, NDMA, and Rescue 1122 were also sent to the earthquake-hit countries, who are taking part in rescue and relief efforts.

How cruel it is that people of Pakistan have ability to help poor but they don’t want to help Pakistani people just because of the corrupt system of Pakistan. Uppar se itni besharmi se humare PM sahab daad de rahe hain iss act ko na ke sharminda hun ke jahan iss mulk ko iss waqt kitni zarorat hai fianncial support ki. Why these money making machines do not support Pakistan financially on their on.
