Health, poverty alleviation, education, and disaster relief are just a few of the social and humanitarian areas where the UAE Pakistan Assistance Programme (UAE-PAP) has helped.
In eight districts in Sindh, acute malnutrition is at a critical level, while in one district, it is at a serious level, according to the most recent Integrated Food Security Phase Classification Acute Malnutrition analysis. The urgent problem is addressed through the UAE’s food assistance programme. According to the report, there are 17.7 million stunted and 9.7 million wasted children under five in Pakistan, while the overall malnutrition incidence is 38.3%.
Meeting between Haroon and the Consul General demonstrates Pakistan and UAE’s shared commitment to addressing food insecurity and enhancing the welfare of vulnerable populations. The UAE’s food assistance programme will aid Pakistan’s efforts in Sindh province to combat Pakistan’s malnutrition problem.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]
