Edhi’s foundation has provided relief in Bangladesh, Afghanistan, Iran, Lebanon, Sri Lanka, Croatia, Indonesia and the United States.
He breathed his last on this day in 2016 at the age of 88 in Karachi.
On the 5th death anniversary, Edhi’s son Faisal Edhi said that the death of his father had impacted his welfare organization and reduced the number of donations from other countries, including Pakistan.

"The donations he received from Britain during his lifetime have halved since his death."
Faisal Edhi further said that he is taking some steps to strengthen the administration, if he succeeds in this, the Edhi Foundation will double the strength in the next five years.
