Islamabad, 16 April 2026: The Pakistan Red Crescent Society and the Turkish Red Crescent formalized a significant humanitarian partnership by signing an agreement to provide cash assistance to vulnerable families affected by recent floods in multiple districts of Pakistan.

The agreement was signed by Secretary General PRCS Muhammad Abaidullah Khan and Head of Delegation Turkish Red Crescent in Pakistan Beyza Taner in the presence of Chairperson PRCS Farzhana Naek. The ceremony was also attended by senior officials and program representatives from both National Societies.

Under the agreement, cash assistance will be provided to 2,000 vulnerable families across the flood-affected districts of Qambar Shahdadkot, Khairpur, Shigar, and Neelum. Each selected household will receive PKR 25,000 to help meet immediate needs, including health-related expenses and early recovery support.

Speaking on the occasion, Chairperson PRCS Mrs. Farzhana Naek emphasized the strength of the longstanding partnership between the two National Societies.
