ISLAMABAD: All educational institutions in Pakistan’s capital Islamabad have launched a mega campaign to collect funds for the earthquake victims of Syria and Türkiye.
The death toll from the devastating quake has risen to over 27,000. The campaign was launched after Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif appealed to help victims and survivors and show solidarity with the people of Türkiye and Syria following the disastrous situation in the quake-hit countries.
Students expressed their determination and commitment to help the government of Pakistan in assisting earthquake-affected people in Türkiye and Syria who lost their families, homes, and livelihoods.
