ISLAMABAD: China has once again reaffirmed its steadfast solidarity with Pakistan by sending another major consignment of humanitarian aid to support families affected by the recent devastating floods.
A special Chinese relief aircraft landed at Islamabad International Airport on Saturday afternoon, carrying 90 tons of essential supplies, including 700 tents, 16,000 blankets, 1,000 life jackets, and 4,000 sleeping bags, Gwadar Pro reported on Sunday.
The aid will be distributed among communities struggling with widespread damage caused by the heavy monsoon rains.
According to the National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA), the arrival of this consignment is part of China’s ongoing Monsoon Relief Assistance Programme for Pakistan.
Acting on the directives of Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, NDMA is coordinating with relevant federal and provincial institutions to ensure the swift and transparent distribution of supplies to flood-affected families.
This latest shipment follows an earlier dispatch of aid on September 28, when China sent two relief flights carrying 300 tents and 9,000 blankets.
Officials said the timely assistance underscores Beijing’s determination to stand shoulder to shoulder with Pakistan in times of natural disasters and humanitarian crises.
The Government of Pakistan has expressed deep appreciation for China’s continued support, noting that it not only brings urgent relief to those in distress but also symbolizes the enduring friendship and all-weather partnership between the two countries.
Heavy monsoon rains have triggered flash floods across several parts of Pakistan in September and early October, leaving thousands of families displaced and damaging homes, roads, and agricultural land.
The government has been mobilizing resources to provide emergency shelter, food, and medical aid, while appealing for international assistance to meet the scale of humanitarian needs.
China’s contribution is part of a broader wave of international relief, yet officials emphasized that Beijing has consistently been among the first to respond to Pakistan’s natural disasters, including the 2010 super floods, the 2022 floods, and now the 2025 crisis.
