Atian said packed food was distributed among 20,000 people on Thursday and another 50,000 on Friday.
Atian has been busy in providing help in the Pakistani provinces of Khyber Pakhtoonkhwa, Punjab and Sindh.
Along with Saudi Ambassador Abdul Aziz Al-Ghadeer, Atian has been visiting various camps and personally supervising relief activities.
"King Abdullah and the people of Saudi Arabia are with their Pakistani brothers in this critical moment,” said Atian, adding that reconstruction of destroyed homes would take place in the second phase of relief activities.
Atian and Al-Ghadeer also visited Kot Addu and Thatta where two mobile hospitals with medical staff from the Kingdom have been set up. Al-Ghadeer has been checking up on the two mobile hospitals where Saudi medical professionals have been working round the clock looking after the sick.
Saudi Arabia is the leading donor to Pakistan during the recent floods. The Kingdom had pledged $100 million in relief aid soon after floods struck Pakistan; the amount was further boosted by a telethon campaign initiated by King Abdullah.
