ISLAMABAD – Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif on Monday offered all-out assistance while expressing deep grief over the loss of lives after catastrophic earthquakes in Turkey.

Sharif expressed their deepest condolence to the families of the earthquake victims and mentioned that more medical and rescue teams will be sent to quake-hit nations in days to come.
Stressing the need to create a mechanism for the supply of needed items, Shehbaz recalled the support and help of Anakara when Pakistan was rattled with a massive earthquake back in 2005. He also mentioned not to spare any effort in helping Turkish brethren in the hard times.
