Karachi, September 06, 2022 (PPI-OT):The Pakistan Red Crescent-Sindh, with the support of the Kuwait Red Crescent Society, distributed a package of relief items to 160 internally displaced flood-affected families of UC Kamal Khan, taluka Juhi, District Dadu, on September 5, 2022. The Standard Non-Food Item (NFI) Kit package for a single-family included a tent, hygiene kit, kitchen set, seven blankets, two tarpaulin sheets, four mosquito nets, and two jerry cans.
