Islamabad (HRNW) US Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee on Monday said medical teams were on the way from America to help the region.
Speaking alongside Foreign Minister Bilawal Bhutto Zardari, Sheila said her delegation travelled an hour to see unspeakable damage in the province of Sindh.
“We saw pain but we also saw resilience in the people,” she said. “We believe that Pakistan is going to recover.”
Terming it as the most devastating time and an attack on humanity, the US congresswoman said the province of Sindh lost an economic arm of wheat and promised to take back the message of help.
“We expect some major donations coming in from the United States,” she said, concluding that “Our friendship is a solid friendship.”
