In addition, dry ration has reached 39,300 families, and nearly 972,000 patients have received treatment and free medicines at PMML’s medical camps.

PMML has established large-scale tent villages in five cities — Lahore, Kasur, Chiniot, Bahawalpur, and Muzaffargarh — where thousands of displaced citizens are being provided with essential services. In Muzaffargarh alone, 100 families are living in PMML’s relief camp, while a camp has also been set up at Jhang Road Adda Jamia Abad in Chiniot.
