Скачать или смотреть LIVE: Pakistan’s Humanitarian Aid Backfires in Sri Lanka | Expired Relief Sparks Diplomatic Row

CNN News18 brings you an exclusive report on a diplomatic controversy that has shaken the Indian Ocean region. Pakistan’s humanitarian aid to cyclone-hit Sri Lanka has sparked outrage after several cartons of medical supplies, food packets, and essential items were found expired or unusable. Colombo has reportedly expressed strong displeasure, calling the incident a major embarrassment for Islamabad at a time when it is trying to strengthen regional ties.

This is not Pakistan’s first misstep in aid diplomacy; previous incidents, including sending beef-based meals to Nepal during a natural disaster, drew severe criticism for cultural insensitivity. Sri Lankan authorities are now introducing stricter screening for incoming relief consignments, particularly from countries with a history of controversial shipments.

The controversy comes as Sri Lanka battles economic stress and recovery challenges, while India’s timely humanitarian assistance has been favorably received. Social media, civil society groups, and experts are calling Pakistan’s actions a “joke of aid diplomacy,” raising questions about accountability and responsibility in delivering aid.

Stay tuned for full coverage, exclusive insights, and reactions from Colombo on this unfolding diplomatic row.
