Save the Children confirms that its office in Islamabad, Pakistan, has been closed and sealed off today (June 11) by the Pakistani authorities. Save the Children was not served any notice to this effect. We strongly object to this action and are raising our serious concerns at the highest levels. Save the Children has worked in Pakistan for more than 35 years and we currently have 1,200 staff members working across the nation. Save the Children does not have any expatriate staff working in Pakistan, all our staff are Pakistani. Last year, our programs in health, education, food security and livelihoods reached more than 4 million children and their families. All our work is designed and delivered in close collaboration with the government ministries across the country, and aims to strengthen public service delivery systems in health, nutrition, education and child welfare.
