The United Arab Emirates has launched a relief program to provide food and shelter to the people of Balochistan, hit by the flash floods consequent to torrential rains.

The program has been initiated under the directives of  Chairman of the Emirates Red Crescent Sheikh Hamdan bin Zayed Al Nahyan.

The first phase of the programme focuss on providing aid to areas most ravaged by floods, such as the districts of Lasbela and Jhal Magsi.

At a later stage, the authority will send relief convoys to other areas in the province to help their residents deal with the current situation.
