KARACHI: Nobel laureate Malala Yousafzai visited Dadu district’s Johi on Wednesday and met flood-hit people, who were displaced by recent devastating floods.
Sindh Chief Minister Syed Murad Ali Shah said Malala Yousafzai’s visit to the flood-affected areas has further highlighted the need for support of flood-hit people for their rehabilitation.
A meeting between Malala Yousafzai and Chief Minister Sindh was also held after she visited the flood-hit areas of Dadu.
She said that the education of school-going children living in camps has been affected badly. She added that she had visited a tent girls’ school and spent some time with the students.
Their morale was high and their determination to receive an education was commendable, she noted.
It may be recalled that in the first week of September, the Malala Fund issued an emergency relief grant to the International Rescue Committee (IRC).
The IRC will utilize the funds to provide psychosocial support to girls and women in flood-hit Sindh and Balochistan.
