"these rations bags are supported by the Amir Khan Foundation"
Boxer Amir Khan has announced on Twitter that his foundation the Amir Khan Foundation is donating ration bags to the needy people who are suffering amid the COVID-19 lockdown in Pakistan.
This includes the poor and those who have been hit by unemployment in Pakistan.
The bags of rations include in them, food such as rice, flour, daal, chickpeas, juices, water, powder milk, and for personal hygiene, bars of soap.
The bags have been prepared at the foundation where thousands of them surround the boxing ring at the location.
Amir has stated that the Pakistani Army is helping them distribute the bags to the desired destinations.
Amir has also spoken to Dr Fehmida Mirza the Federal Minister for IPC with regards to the donation and help needed for distribution.
The commentator who narrates on the film showing the ration bags prepared to be donated says:
“Right now the boxing ring is empty but all the other space in the club is made available if filled with ration bags.
“And these rations bags are supported by the Amir Khan Foundation.
“For the needy people of Pakistan who have suffered from the Coronavirus lockdown and unemployment in Pakistan.
“The team is busy making this happen and thousands of bags are being packed and tomorrow insha’Allah or the next few days this will be distributed to the needy people of Pakistan.
“Thank you Amir Khan.”
