The Federation of Associations that Value Humanity (IDDEF) took action with the emergency aid campaign it launched to support and meet the needs of the people in Pakistan, which faced the worst flood disaster in recent years, where more than 1,200 people died and 10 million people became homeless. While IDDEF continued to distribute hot meals with its teams in the field from the first day of the flood disaster within the scope of the campaign, food packages, tents and other humanitarian aid materials prepared with the donations of philanthropists were delivered to the region by the teams in the region and the Goodness Train, which set off under the coordination of Disaster and Emergency Management Presidency (AFAD). In the press statement made by IDDEF, it was stated that the support of the benefactors who want to send aid to the disaster area will continue to reach the region.
