As NATO aid flights continue around the clock and Alliance troops are deployed to Pakistan for the relief effort, Pakistani and international authorities have asked for further NATO assistance.
As NATO aid flights continue around the clock and Alliance troops are deployed to Pakistan for the relief effort, Pakistani and international authorities have asked for further NATO assistance.
On 27 October, Additional Foreign Secretary of Pakistan Tariq Osman Hyder addressed a meeting of the Euro-Atlantic Partnership Council at NATO Headquarters in Brussels, Belgium, asking for further assistance.
He said that NATO could provide continued airlift, funds, logistic and airspace management, mobile fuel tanks, spare parts for helicopters and tactical aircraft, command and control, winterised tents and sleeping bags.
More assistance
That same day, NATO’s Euro-Atlantic Disaster Response Coordination Centre received from the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees an urgent request for the transport of additional shelter and relief items stored in Turkey to Pakistan before the winter sets in.
This would be in addition to a large quantity of UNHCR supplies that NATO has been airlifting from Turkey since 19 October, as well as donations by NATO member and countries, which are being aiflited from Germany since 13 October.
To date, 32 NATO flights have lifted over 500 tonnes of supplies to Islamabad.
The Alliance has also agreed to deploy engineer and medical units from the NATO Response Force to Pakistan to aid the relief effort.
A NATO headquaters has alredy been deployed to liaise with Pakistani authorities and prepare the way for the arriving forces.
3 million without shelter
Pakistan’s government estimates the official death toll of the 8 October earthquake at
54 000, with an estimated 78 000 injured and up to three million people homeless in the affected area.
Most relief efforts concentrate in the north of Pakistan where the only means of transporting supplies to distant villages is by mule trains or helicopters.
