Under the special directives of the Field Marshal Syed Asim Munir, the Pakistan Army has intensified its rescue and relief operations in flood-affected areas of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, with efforts focused on Buner, Shangla, Swat, and other remote regions.
Despite challenging weather conditions, army helicopters have been airlifting stranded individuals; including women, children, and the injured, to safer locations. Alongside rescue operations, relief supplies have been delivered to hard-hit communities, including in the Khwar Banda area.
The relief packages include flour, rice, lentils, powdered milk, salt, tea leaves, and cooking oil. The military has also established free medical camps in the affected zones, where army doctors are providing treatment and distributing essential medicines.
In Mansehra and Battagram districts, the Pakistan Army continues to operate in coordination with local communities. Upon receiving distress calls, a military relief team was dispatched to Neel Ban dheri, a remote area in Mansehra located on the border with Battagram. Due to damaged roads, the team had to trek over 8 kilometres on foot to reach the victims.
The team provided first aid to the injured, including a child and an adult male, both of whom were later evacuated to the Rural Health Clinic in Chattar Plain due to their critical condition.
Over 100 patients have been treated at the medical camp in the area, where medicines, milk for children, and daily-use essentials have been distributed free of cost to affected families.
Army teams are also working to clear blocked roads caused by landslides and flood debris, which continue to hinder access in many areas. Despite the difficult terrain and adverse weather, military personnel remain on the ground to ensure uninterrupted assistance to the local population.
