As the relief work is still going on in the flood-hit areas of Balochistan, the Sikh community has also responded to the call for help of the unprecedented floods that have caused devastation across Pakistan.

Dr. Gurjeet Singh, a resident of Canada, distributed relief items to the flood victims in Quetta and set up a camp consisting of 400 tents for the flood affectees in the Sariab Road area of the provincial capital. Singh also distributed medicines, ration, and the blankets among the victims.

Meanwhile, the president of Balochistan Sikh Sangat, Jespir Singh, told Aaj News that he has been involved in humanitarian work in Pakistan, India and Bangladesh for the past several years.

Earlier this month, UN-affiliated NGO United Sikhs rushed relief supplies for flood victims in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa’s Charsadda district where thousands of people and livestock were badly hit.

Local Sikh volunteers of United Sikhs set up a camp to move flood-affected families to safe areas and provide them with food, water, and other immediate supplies.
