Gilani sends thanks PM for flood aid with mangoes

New Delhi, Aug 20 (PTI) Responding to India's aid to
flood-hit people in his country, Pakistan Prime Minister Yusuf
Raza Gilani on Friday sent five boxes of mangoes to Prime
Minister Manmohan Singh as a gesture of gratitude.

The Prime Minister's Office received five boxes of
mangoes from the Prime Minister of Pakistan, a PMO spokesman
said here.
Earlier in the day, Pakistan had accepted India's offer
of USD five million in aid for flood relief in the country.
Singh had spoken to Gilani on Thursday and offered more
assistance in handling flood relief.
Three weeks of unusually heavy monsoon rains triggered
flash floods in Khyber-Paktunkhwa, Punjab, Balochistan and
Sindh provinces of Pakistan, affecting 20 million people.
Over 1,700 people have died and the UN says more than
650,000 people are without shelter while six million
desperately need emergency aid. Tens of thousands of villages
are still under water. PTI MS
