Ahmed Kamal (Chairman, Federal Flood Commission): By the grace of Allah Almighty, the devastating flood situation is gradually improving. Most rivers are flowing normally and the water is going into the Indus River. We are trying every possible way to drain the water out in the inundated areas. But, it will take us more time to completely clear these areas because of the intensity of the flood. The incumbent government and stakeholders are doing whatever it takes to contain the spread of deadly diseases in the affected areas. The relief operation is continuing in full swing, and we are providing food and medical assistance to the flood hit persons. The people around the world and from Pakistan have shown immense support to provide as much relief as they can to their brothers in need. A meeting is going to be conducted soon to assess and calculate the damages in the flood hit areas to take next action.

Asghar Ali Jamali (Deputy Director, PDMA Balochistan): The rescue and relief operation in twenty six districts has been completed successfully, while it continues in remaining areas including Jhal Magsi. A Disaster Management Committee has been established, which includes members from NDMA, PDMA, Pak Army and district officials. It is assessing the amount of damages in these areas.  The roads wiped out in the flash floods have been repaired and the connectivity to the affected areas has been restored. The rescue teams are now looking for affected people in the major affected areas. In the first phase, we provided relief packages and now we are providing rations to the flood hit people.
