Welcome

Pakistan is hit by heavier than usual monsoon rains, killing more than one thousand people and leaving thousands of houses damaged throughout the country. According to the reports of NDMA, the worst affected areas are Bhakkar, Dera Ghazi Khan, Layyah, Mianwali, Multan, Muzaffargarh, Rahim Yar Khan and Rajanpur in Punjab province, as well Khyber Pakhtonkhawa (KPK), Sindh and Baluchistan provinces have worst situation due to floods. According to reports more than 20 million of people are displaced due to the flooding and have lost their homes, family members and their property, diseases and snake bites. Flash floods have caused catastrophic landslides, burying entire villages, and submerging areas across all four provinces. Rivers swollen by torrential rains have burst their banks unleashing widespread devastation, destroying houses, bridges, schools, roads and railway tracks.

Entire communities have been uprooted from their submerged towns and villages. Some have sought shelter with relatives, but most have now where to go. Survivors are taking shelter in schools, mosques and on high ground and roadsides. Delivery of emergency relief to flood-hit regions has been hampered by the destruction of roads. Weather conditions have also limited the use of helicopters, grounded by heavy rains and strong winds.

There is an immediate humanitarian need to provide shelters, food and non food items, hygiene kits, clean drinking water and mobile health services to the flood affected people.
