UK’s aid to Pakistan:A reality behind the flour bag

Much has been made of the tweet by a lawyer and well known PTI supporter which claimed that aid sent by the UK government in the form of flour bags was being sold at a shop in Sindh. The NDMA which is coordinating the foreign aid to Pakistan said that the UK has not sent any bags of flour for flood victims. The tweet that had claimed the bag was being sold at a shop in Sindh was shared by many PTI supporters and they also tagged the UN asking if not to send any aid to Pakistan. The Sindh government also denied that this was the case Furthermore, one account run by a coder said that the pic was photoshopped and had originally been first shared in 2014. IK any case, there is nothing to suggest in the pic itself that the bag of flour had been stolen from aid meant from flood victims and was being sold in shops
