Islamabad: The King Salman Humanitarian Aid and Relief Center has officially launched the third phase of its Food Security Support Project in Pakistan for the year 2025. Under this phase, the Center will distribute 30,000 food packages across 34 underprivileged districts, benefiting over 210,000 people.
The project’s inauguration ceremony was held at the Saudi Embassy in Islamabad, attended by Saudi Ambassador to Pakistan Nawaf bin Saeed Al-Malki, Federal Minister for National Food Security and Research Rana Tanveer Hussain, and Director of King Salman Relief Center in Pakistan Abdullah Al-Baqami.
This initiative follows the successful completion of the project’s first two phases, during which 60,000 food packages were distributed over five months in 61 districts across Balochistan, Sindh, Punjab, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Gilgit-Baltistan, and Azad Jammu and Kashmir.
Each food package contains all essential items, weighing 95 kilograms, including fine flour, chickpea lentils, cooking oil, and sugar. The packages are designed to sustain a family for an entire month and will be distributed under the supervision of the King Salman Relief Center in coordination with local authorities.
The project is being implemented in collaboration with the National Disaster Management Authority, provincial disaster management authorities, and other local partners. It aims to alleviate food insecurity, improve nutritional health, and support disaster-affected and marginalized communities. Beneficiary families will be identified jointly with local officials to ensure aid reaches the most deserving households.
