Ambassador Tirmizi expressed deep sorrow and heartfelt condolences on the tragic loss of lives and devastation caused by the recent floods across various parts of Pakistan, including the districts of Buner, Swat, Bajaur, Shangla, Mansehra, as well as in Kashmir and Gilgit-Baltistan.
He called upon the Pakistani community in the UAE to actively unite and contribute aid, whether financial or material, to directly support those affected during this challenging time.
In a gesture of solidarity with the victims and their families, Ambassador Tirmizi earlier announced the postponement of the Independence Day celebrations scheduled to be held in the UAE.
“May Allah Almighty grant eternal peace to the departed souls and strength and patience to the bereaved families,” he said.
