QUETTA: Balochistan Chief Minister Dr Abdul Malik Baloch has appealed to the international community and non-governmental organisations to come forward and extend help to carry out rehabilitation work in earthquake-stricken areas of Awaran.

Talking to delegations of NGOs in Awaran after visiting Gishkor, Malar and other quake-hit areas of Mashkay sub-division, he said it was hard time for the people of Awaran and Kech districts where hundreds of people had lost their lives and suffered massive financial losses.

“The international community should extend help and cooperation for rehabilitation of people of Awaran district,” the chief minister said, adding that NGOs and philanthropists could also help people of this backward district.

He held out the assurance that full protection would be provided to those who came forward to carry out relief work in quake-hit areas.
