Plans are in place to distribute 120 buffaloes in Dera Ismail Khan district of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) and Dera Ghazi Khan district of Punjab in the near future.

The distribution ceremonies held in the respective districts were attended by key figures including Muhammad Abaidullah Khan, Secretary General of PRCS, and Piwi Ophoff, Head of Country Delegation, IFRC Pakistan.
