On the special directives of the Prime Minister of Pakistan, NDMA has launched an emergency relief operation to address the critical shortage of medicines supplies caused by road blockages in Parachinar.

Responding promptly to the situation, NDMA, in coordination with the Ministry of Health, arranged the transportation of 1000 kilograms of urgently required medicines. The Ministry of Health provided the medical supplies to ensure timely assistance to affected areas.

2 x heli flights, each carrying 500 kilograms of medicines, departed from Islamabad to Parachinar. The first heli flight evacuated four critical patients, including Zamin Hussain, a heart patient, Shamim Begam, who is suffering from Glaucoma-Stage-4, Bibi Khanum, who has heart and lungs issues, and Masidah Agustinaa along with her 2-year-old son, an Indonesian national. An 8-year-old girl, Subah Hussain, who has a brain tumor, was evacuated in the second heli flight.

This swift and coordinated response underscores the Government of Pakistan's commitment to safeguarding public health and ensuring the well-being of citizens in times of crisis.
