The aid supplies — including rice buckets, powdered milk, canned food, family packs, sleeping bags, and medical support kits — were dispatched via a chartered flight from Jinnah International Airport in Karachi to Damascus, Syria.

The send-off ceremony held at Jinnah International Airport was attended by MPA Ali Khursheedi, Senator Amir Waliuddin Chishti, senior officials of NDMA, and representatives of Al-Khidmat Foundation.
