KABUL, Afghanistan - Six U.S. Army aircraft consisting of four tandem-rotor CH-47 Chinook helicopters and two UH-60 Blackhawk utility helicopters arrived in Pakistan, Aug. 3, as part of the United States Government's continued assistance to Pakistan during humanitarian relief operations.
The helicopters were dispatched to Pakistan from Afghanistan in response to the Pakistani government equest for flood relief assistance. The helicopters and their crews will operate in partnership with the Pakistan government and military throughout the flood-impacted areas to deliver much-needed relief supplies and provide transport to people who need emergency assistance in flood-stricken areas.
The United States responded immediately to Pakistan's call for assistance following the tragic and devastating floods, consistent with our humanitarian values and our deep commitment to the people of Pakistan.
Additional assistance will be provided based on the Pakistani government's assessments of humanitarian needs.
