The people and Government of Japan heard with great sorrow about the colossal loss of valuable human lives and damage to houses and livestock in the wake of heavy rains in Balochistan along with massive snowfall in NWFP, Northern Areas as well as Azad Jammu and Kashmir.
At present many people whose houses were destroyed are forced to face harsh weather conditions and are living under open sky in extremely difficult circumstances as evacuees, and the Japanese emergency relief is aimed to help these displaced people.
The decision to provide support to these affected people has been made especially from the humanitarian point of view and in consideration of the friendly relations between Japan and Pakistan.-PR
