In response to the extensive destruction caused by the severe storm, Pakistan Army’s elite search and rescue team has been dispatched to Sri Lanka to support relief efforts. At least 465 people have been killed as a result of last week’s cyclone, while another 366 remain missing. President Anura Kumara Dissanayake declared a state of emergency and called for international support. Meanwhile, Karachi police have formed a three-member inquiry committee to probe the incident.
