ISLAMABAD: The King Salman Humanitarian Aid and Relief Centre (KSrelief), in coordination with Pakistan’s National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA), has launched the distribution of food assistance across 30 districts of Pakistan in observance of Ramazan. The initiative is being implemented under the Food Security Support Project Pakistan 2026 (Phase-5) and aims to provide support to approximately 192,500 vulnerable individuals facing food insecurity across the country.
According to the Saudi mission, the project provides comprehensive food baskets designed to meet the nutritional needs of beneficiary families during Ramazan, ensuring that households have essential supplies throughout the month.
Each relief package weighs 97 kilograms and includes 80 kilograms of wheat flour, 5 liters of cooking oil, 5 kilograms of sugar, 2 kilograms of dates, and 5 kilograms of gram pulse (Daal Chana). Officials stated that the contents have been carefully calculated to sustain an average household for the entire month of fasting.
The distribution process is being carried out in a transparent and coordinated manner in collaboration with Provincial PDMAs, the Gilgit-Baltistan Disaster Management Authority (GBDMA), the State Disaster Management Authority (SDMA), district administrations, and KSrelief’s implementing partners - the Hayat Foundation and the Peace & Development Organization.
