As part of this effort, 2,400 community volunteers have been trained in search and rescue operations. In Buner, 25 trained volunteers from Charsadda have joined Rescue 1122’s teams. They are assisting where people remain missing or trapped under debris.
Mobile medical camps are being established in areas with damaged health clinics, ensuring continued access to healthcare. Alongside this, non-food items, food rations, shelter materials, and dignity kits for women are being distributed to displaced families.
In addition, the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (UN OCHA) is coordinating aid delivery. District Coordinators in Swat and Buner are helping to ensure that humanitarian support reaches affected people efficiently and effectively.
