NATO Sending Soldiers to Pakistan
NATO has agreed to send as many as 1,000 military engineers, medics and other troops to help with earthquake relief efforts in Pakistan.
The alliance will also increase airlifts of aid to Pakistan from Europe, although NATO‘s top official said more helicopters are desperately needed to deliver supplies to mountainous areas of Kashmir and northern Pakistan.
“Pakistan needs more help and today NATO agreed to do more,” NATO Secretary General Jaap de Hoop Scheffer told reporters Friday.
“It is unprecedented. NATO is not a humanitarian relief organization, but the situation is so serious.”
