Pakistan has been left red-faced after reports emerged that it had sent back aid received from Turkey in 2022. The aid was provided to Pakistan to help the country cope with the devastating effects of the floods that hit the region in June 2022.
However, after the recent earthquake that struck the border region of Turkey and Syria, authorities in Pakistan allegedly sent back the aid that was provided by Turkey. According to reports, the message inside the box sent by Turkey read that the materials were sent to help the people of Pakistan, but the boxes outside carried a message that the materials were sent by the people of Pakistan to help cope with the earthquake.
Officials in Turkey have accused Pakistan of changing the boxes outside but forgetting to change the boxes inside. This embarrassing incident has raised questions about Pakistan’s commitment to international aid and has caused a rift in the relationship between the two countries.
The incident has also sparked widespread criticism on social media, with many questioning Pakistan’s handling of aid received from other countries. The situation is a reminder that when it comes to humanitarian aid, transparency and accountability are of utmost importance.
Pakistan has not yet commented on the incident, but it is clear that this incident has dealt a significant blow to the country’s reputation and its ability to receive aid in the future.
