Donations in three separate aid campaigns in Turkey for the victims of devastating floods in Pakistan have reached to 183.9 million Turkish liras (around 123 million USD), Turkey's emergency management authority said on Thursday.

The three aid campaigns have been launched by the Turkish Prime Ministry, the General Directorate of Religious Affairs and TRT, the state-run television and radio network.

Floods, caused by Monsoon rains, have killed thousands of people and left millions homeless in Pakistan.

As many as 17 million acres of farm land have been submerged and billions of dollars of crops destroyed, Pakistani authorities announced earlier.

So far, Turkey has sent an $10 million financial aid and 244 tons of relief support that included vaccines, medicine, medical stuff.

Turkey has also sent a 42-member medical team, two fully equipped mobile hospitals, an ambulance, and a 4x4 truck for medical rescue efforts.

Thank you Turkey last week i saw some quality tents and shelter at Nowshera for flood victims and all were from Turkey .

And few days back Turks in Sindh have distributed small bags of rice among many families but to the surprise of these needy families when they opened the bags these also contain Rs50,000 each

Bravo and salute to Turks they did not show off and did not tell that there was a big money in each bag
