Pakistan High Commissioner to Canada Zaheer A. Janjua has applauded the Pakistani diaspora for contributing enthusiastically to the flood relief efforts in Pakistan.
Addressing a fundraising dinner in Ottawa, he said while the world has come to our assistance in the wake of devastating floods, it is the people and the diaspora of Pakistan whose contributions will count in the end.
The High Commissioner said the United Nations had re-assessed and raised its appeal to provide relief and assistance to the flood-hit people in Pakistan to 816 million dollars.
He also lauded the role played by organisations such as Indus Development Foundation Canada and the Pakistani doctors in Canada for providing healthcare to the needy in Pakistan.
