In a heartwarming gesture of solidarity, the Balochistan government has approved a comprehensive financial aid package for 17 Palestinian students pursuing their medical education at Bolan Medical College (BMC) in Quetta. The generous initiative aims to alleviate the financial burden on these students and enable them to continue their studies without any hindrance.
According to a notification issued by the Balochistan Health Department, the government will cover the tuition fees, hostel charges, and sponsorship expenses of the Palestinian students. Each student will receive a monthly hostel allowance of PKR 10,000 and a sponsorship amount of PKR 25,000.
The decision to provide financial assistance to the Palestinian students was made by the Caretaker Chief Minister of Balochistan, Mir Ali Mardan Khan Domki, upon reviewing a summary submitted by the Health Department. This act of kindness exemplifies the strong bonds of friendship and support between Pakistan and Palestine.—APP
