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 aim is to continually provide aid in the coming months. Setting off from Heathrow Airport on Sunday, 25th September, the partnership is part of a long-term endeavour to help restore some normality to the lives of those who are simply unable to survive under threat of such natural destruction. Forming part of Football For Peace’s Rehydrating The Earth campaign, charity founder and ex-Pakistan international footballer Kash Siddiqi is thrilled that the first leg of their campaign is finally underway. Upon arrival in Islamabad, footballer Kash Siddiqi was greeted by Sohail Ali, SVP for the Middle East, Africa and Asia Pacific, Dr Christian Turner, British Ambassador to Pakistan and then escorted by the former Governor of Punjab Mr Mohammed Sarwar and The Sarwar Foundation to hand deliver the aid across different provinces in Pakistan. 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. British Deputy High Commissioner, Andrew Dalgleish said: “British Airways has partnered with Football for Peace to bring in flood relief cargo to Pakistan.
