On Instagram, Zara reshared a reel posted by Hadiqa highlighting the poor quality of donations sent to flood survivors.
“Unbelievable how people think about the less privileged and donate accordingly,” Zara wrote.
She added, “This is exactly how some people treat their staff—and it is as ugly a crime as any other.”
Hadiqa Kiani, actively involved in flood relief efforts across Pakistan, has been documenting her efforts in collecting and distributing aid.
While she has received widespread support, she also pointed out disturbing cases of donations that included rags, torn shoes, and other unusable items.
In her reel, Kiani condemned such behavior, emphasizing that donating worthless or disrespectful items strips charity of its dignity and compassion.
Her message has sparked widespread discussion on social media, with many applauding her for shedding light on a long-overlooked issue.
Reports said the unprecedented floods have left behind a trail of devastation across Pakistan, with nearly 946 lives lost and millions displaced since late June 2025.
According to estimates, the country has suffered damages of more than Rs409 billion, wiping out crops worth Rs 302 billion and severely hitting the agriculture sector.
Roads, bridges, and communication networks sustained losses of Rs 97.6 billion, while housing damage is valued at Rs8.95 billion, affecting thousands of families.
The livestock sector also recorded losses of nearly Rs0.5 billion.
