Flood crises in Pakistan are continuing to threaten the lives of millions, with families risking dehydration amid a landscape that’s facing climate destruction. As part of Football for Peace’s Pakistan humanitarian crisis response, British Airways has teamed up with the charity to help deliver around 8 tonnes of clothing, food, and medical aid to help support families left adrift through devastating floods.

The donors for the first aid drop include Brent Council, Henley Homes, Noon Foods, Virnai Foods, Snow Leopards Technology, Amigos Burgers & Shakes. The project has also engaged with several high-profile supporters, Bacary Sagna former Manchester City and French International defender and Cherno Samba, ex-Gambia international and England U20 forward. Both have been among several volunteers helping to load cargo over the weekend and also in Dubai last week as part of the UAE Aid drive to Pakistan. In the UK the team have worked from a carefully prepared warehouse organised and administered by Universal Air Express.
