PAF Launches Flood Relief Operation in Gilgit-Baltistan

Gilgit-Baltistan: The Pakistan Air Force (PAF) has launched a major flood relief operation in Gilgit-Baltistan, responding swiftly to the humanitarian crisis caused by recent floods. Braving harsh weather conditions and navigating the region’s challenging mountainous terrain, a PAF C-130 aircraft transported 7 tons of critical supplies—including dry rations, daily essentials, and life-saving medicines—from PAF Base Nur Khan to Gilgit.

These essential goods will be distributed to flood-stricken communities in remote valleys in coordination with the National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA), ensuring timely assistance to families cut off due to damaged infrastructure and blocked communication lines.

In a parallel rescue mission, the PAF relief team successfully evacuated 75 stranded individuals from affected areas, providing urgent support to those in immediate danger.
