Mormon church supplies relief goods to Pakistan

SALT LAKE CITY -- A senior Mormon church official says the faith is coordinating with relief agencies to supply humanitarian aid to flood-ravaged Pakistan.

Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints presiding bishop David Burton says the church is partnering with International Relief and Development, the International Medical Corps, and the Saba Aslam Welfare and Trust to get relief supplies purchased locally and distributed.

Burton says additional supplies will also be shipped from the church's humanitarian center in Salt Lake City for distribution by Islamic Relief USA.

The 13-million member church has no presence in Pakistan, but often supplies humanitarian aid to disaster areas around the world.
