The Muslim World League (MWL) has sent urgent relief aid packages to assist flood-affected people in a number of areas of Pakistan.

The campaign kicked off under the supervision of the head of the National Authority for Natural Disaster Management of Pakistan, Gen. Mohammad Afdhal, and with the participation of Saudi ambassador to Pakistan Nawaf bin Saeed Al-Malki, and a number of Pakistani officials.

Afdhal praised the efforts of the MWL and said the aid will help alleviate the suffering of those affected by the disastrous torrents and floods.

For his part, MWL regional director Saad Al-Harthi said that the program primarily aims to distribute food baskets to the most needy segments of those affected in the areas hit by torrential rains and floods.

"This comes within the humanitarian association’s efforts to help the needy around the world, through coordinating with the relevant government agencies in each country.”

Al-Harthi also said that the program is part of the numerous programs and projects in the fields of development and relief that MWL is implementing in Pakistan, stressing that MWL's relief activities do not differ based on religion, ethnicity or otherwise, but rather provides services to all those in need, equally.

Russia carried out its second big attack on Ukraine's energy infrastructure this month on Thursday, with national and local officials reporting blasts and emergency power cuts across the country affecting hundreds of thousands of people.
"Energy infrastructure is once again targeted by the enemy's massive strike," Ukrainian Energy Minister German Galushchenko wrote on Facebook.
Ukraine's national grid operator Ukrenergo introduced emergency power cuts amid the attack, Galushchenko said.
Ukraine's top private power company DTEK said the power cuts impacted the capital as well as Kyiv, Odesa, Dnipropetrovsk and Donetsk regions.
Russia previously staged 10 massive attacks on the country's energy infrastructure, which hobbled the system and spurred fears of long power cuts ahead of the winter months, Reuters said.
During the Thursday missile attack on the western Rivne region, governor Oleksandr Koval said 280,000 consumers experienced power cuts. He also reported interruptions in water supply without elaborating on damage.
The mayor of the western town of Lutsk reported power cuts after several strikes, adding that the services were working to connect water and heating infrastructure to alternative power sources.
Kharkiv regional governor Oleh Syniehubov said a missile strike on the city damaged a business facility and windows in an apartment building.
The missile attack on the northeastern Sumy region targeted infrastructure, regional authorities said.
Debris in Kyiv fell on the territory of a business and dealt minor damage to several buildings and a truck, the Kyiv city military administration said.
