      <title>Tents for flood victims used as carpet at JUI-F event in Quetta</title>
      <link>https://english.aaj.tv/news/30306422/tents-for-flood-victims-used-as-carpet-at-jui-f-event-in-quetta</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The unprecedented floods during the monsoon this year affected 33 million people, with millions in small towns and villages across Pakistan losing their homes in the deluge. A large number of those people continue to live under open skies awaiting promised assistance that had to come long before winter did.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The situation in Balochistan is relatively worse than the rest of the country due to it being under developed with pockets of populations spread over vast areas and a terrain that can appear uninviting if not inaccessible.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Considering the situation, it is imperative to ensure that any assistance meant for the floot-hit reaches them.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;That is not what the Jamiat-e-Ulema Islam-Fazl (JUI-F) did when provided tents meant for flood victims.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The tents, with the markings of the UN Refugee Agency (UNHCR) were seen being used as ground covering or carpets at the JUI-F workers’ convention held at the Ayub Stadium in Quetta.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Party leaders and venue administration resorted to blame-game when quizzed about why the tents meant for flood victims were being used at a political event.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Footage shared widely on social media shows tents across the racing track.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;    &lt;figure class='media  w-full  w-full  media--stretch    media--uneven  media--stretch'&gt;
        &lt;div class='media__item  media__item--twitter  '&gt;&lt;span&gt;

    &lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
        
    &lt;/figure&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The ground’s management said that they had only instructed the JUI-F workers to ensure the safety of race track.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Sources said the tents intended for flood victims were handed over by the Balochistan Provincial Disaster Management Authority (PDMA) to the political party instead of the victims.&lt;/p&gt;
