Parched to Hydrated Cholistan
Conditions have recently deteriorated in the drought affected Cholistan with water scarcity which has posed a threat to tens of thousands living in the desert, due to unseasonably high temperatures and no rainfall. Ponds and oasis have dried up as the heat intensified in the region making the residents desperate for a drop of water. Their livestock have been dying, affecting the employment of the inhabitants. Shahid Afridi Foundation, reaching those affected by drought, has dispatched more than 20,000 gallons of clean water and has supplied ORS, first aid equipment, and medicines in the area. SAF team started rescue and relief operation at Cholistan with rescue 1122 additional deputy commissioner Bahawalpur Umer Farooq, assistant Yazlan Mujahid Abbas, and rescue 1122 incharge Baqir Ali, under the leadership of deputy commissioner Irfan Ali. SAF provided Rescue 1122 with communication equipment along with access to fuel for water trucks to ease the process of delivering clean water to the affectees and bring more improvement in facilitation for masses.
SAF efforts will not end here, with your help, we will continue to expand our efforts so that much-needed relief can reach the people and their Hope stays Not Out.
