The Russian crew flew their first rotations on 17 November to the village of Rahimkot - high in the mountains south-east of Muzaffarabad - to deliver shelter material that is being distributed with the help of 24 volunteers from the Pakistan Red Crescent Society. On its flights back to Muzaffarabad, the MI26 evacuated a baby and a young girl to the ICRC hospital.
