Pak-Turk foundation to set up schools in quake areas
ISLAMABAD: A delegation of 15 city mayors of the Istanbul municipality visited Muzaffarabad to express solidarity with the October 8 earthquake victims.
The delegation also reviewed the relief work by Pak-Turk International Cag Education Foundation (ICEF) and other Turkish organisations. Fesih Celik, the managing director of Pak-Turk ICEF, told reporters that another Turkish delegation consisting of 47 Turkish businessmen, sponsoring the foundation’s schools in Pakistan, were also visiting the disaster areas. He said the delegation had finalised an agreement with a local construction company to initially construct 10 prefabricated schools, each accommodating 500 students. He said out of these ten schools, six will be constructed in Muzaffarabad, two in Mansehra and two in Balakot. He said the foundation had offered the Pakistan government that it could accommodate more than 350 students in its Islamabad, Peshawar, Lahore and Multan branches of Pak-Turk international schools.
He said the Pak-Turk ICEF medical camp in Muzaffarabad was treating 200 people daily and had immunised 5,000 people so far. staff report
