| U.S. dispatches helicopters for Pakistan flood relief |
By U.S. Embassy, Islamabad, Pakistan
Pakistani and American troops load supplies onto a U.S. Army Chinook helicopter destined for relief efforts in the flood-ravaged regions of Pakistan.
The helicopters were dispatched to Pakistan in response to the Government of Pakistan's urgent request for flood relief assistance. The helicopters will be operating in partnership with the Pakistan government throughout the flood-impacted areas to deliver much-needed relief supplies and provide transport to people who urgently need emergency assistance there. The United States responded immediately to Pakistan's call for assistance following the tragic and devastating floods, consistent with our humanitarian values and our deep commitment to the people of Pakistan. Additional assistance will be provided based on the Government of Pakistan's assessments of humanitarian needs.  Print Email |
