Karachi, October 11, 2022 (PPI-OT):During assessments in flood-affected areas of Sindh, it was revealed that a large percentage of households in relief camps lacked phone connectivity for any reason and needed to restore/maintain communication. The International Committee of Red Cross (ICRC) supported Pakistan Red Crescent Society-Sindh to provide mobile phone cards to flood-affected families to re-establish family communication.
In this context, as part of the Restoring Family Links (RFL) Program, PRCS-Sindh distributed 182 mobile phone cards including Jazz, Ufone, Telenor, and Zong to flood victims in District Sajawal in order to help them reconnect with their loved ones during this catastrophe.
Muzammil Rahim, RFL Manager in Sindh, said that in total they have to distribute the mobile cards to 700 flood-affected people in different districts of Sindh province. He added that the RFL program has a provision for providing free mobile phone calls to flood victims through RFL volunteers. “The Pakistan Red Crescent can assist flood-affected families in reuniting with loved ones separated during the floods in Pakistan, therefore contact PRCS at 1030 or 021-35306227-9 to avail of this service,” RFL Manager urged.
